AS-W vs BH-W 30th Match Preview & Prediction: The Women’s Big Bash League 2025 continues with its 30th fixture as Adelaide Strikers Women take on Brisbane Heat Women at the North Sydney Oval, Sydney, on Sunday, November 30, 2025, starting at 06:40 IBH.
The Adelaide Strikers Women’s team has won just two of their seven matches so far. Both of their victories came in chases, but their last match was controversial as the team that lost due to rain felt they should have played like the Sydney Thunder.
Meanwhile, the Brisbane Heat Women’s team is disappointing. The Jess Jonassen-led team has yet to win a single match this season. Their six-match losing streak was broken when their match against the Sydney Sixers was abandoned due to rain. Last season’s runner-up team will be desperate to pick up its first points.

Adelaide Strikers Women
The Adelaide Strikers Women haven’t had a great season, managing only two wins in seven matches. However, their victories came through solid chases, showing glimpses of their potential. Their last outing ended in controversy due to a premature stoppage despite the Strikers being on the verge of losing.
The team will once again depend on their star performers — with Laura Wolvaardt leading the batting charts and Tahlia McGrath continuing to anchor the middle order. Their spin attack, featuring Amanda-Jade Wellington and Sophie Ecclestone, remains their biggest strength, capable of controlling the middle overs.

Brisbane Heat Women
