ST-W vs SS-W Team Preview & Analysis
Sydney Thunder Women
Phoebe Litchfield’s team is under a lot of pressure after losing its first two matches. Their bowling was a problem in the first match, and their batting was inconsistent in both departments in the second match.
Tahlia Wilson and Georgia Woll are proving to be good batsmen and are expected to get off to a good start.
Phoebe Litchfield, Chamari Athapattu and Heather Knight will have to hold the middle order to avoid another batting failure.
Anika Lloyd impressed in the last match with a quick 31 and will play a key role in the lower order.
The bowling needs to improve significantly. Shabnim Ismail has been very costly, and the team will have to rely on her and Samantha Bates for early success.
Chamari Athapattu and Georgia Woll will have to control the middle overs, while Peshel and Hasrat Gill will have to support them up front.
