However, with cloud cover and humidity of 76 percent and 52 percent, respectively, before the start of the game, gloomy conditions are expected.

• Adelaide Strikers beat Sydney Thunders by 30 runs on October 16. Tahlia McGrath continued her stellar start to the season with a crucial all-around performance as the Adelaide Strikers defeated the reigning champions, Sydney Thunder.
• McGrath, who is captaining Strikers in the absence of Megan Schutt, top-scored with 42 off 34 balls before taking 3 for 17, along with the Smriti Mandhanaand after that match-winning brace of Corinne Hall and Anika Learoyd in successive deliveries after Thunder had lost early wickets.
• The Strikers were 4 for 46 after losing Laura Wolvaardt for a first-ball duck but were rescued by a 69-run fifth-wicket partnership between McGrath and Madeline Penna in 10 overs. They were both ready to go for broke in the last overs, but they both fell to Lauren Smith in the space of three deliveries. Amanda-Jade Wellington, on the other hand, was able to get the total up to 140. The Strikers are currently moving towards the thunder with winning momentum..

Hobart Hurricanes Team News

• The Hobart Hurricanes were defeated by the Sydney Sixers on October 17th. The Sixers had held the Hobart Hurricanes to 125 points, but they faltered early in the chase.
• Vlaeminck defeated Alyssa Healy for speed as she played across the line, and Ashleigh Gardner charged at Strano, leaving them at 2 for 14. The Hurricanes’ batting faltered once again, as they were 3 for 26 after the Powerplay.
• They have a bowling attack that can make an impact this season, but they sorely need top-order runs. Brown took one wicket and Perry took two, the latter thanks to a fantastic catch at point by Radha Yadav to dismiss Mignon du Preez. Gardner’s four overs, which featured 12 dot balls, kept the score down, and Richa Ghosh was primarily responsible for keeping things together. Hurricanes struggled to the 20-over mark as Ghosh struck three sixes before succumbing to India teammate Yadav.

AS-W vs HH-W Match Tips

The Hurricanes’ bats struggled once again this season. This season, they have a bowling attack that can make an impact, but they are in dire need of top-order runs. The Adelaide strikers started the season with a loss as well, but they were able to make a strong drive. The Adelaide Strikers are a considerable step up from the Hurricanes, with powerful batting lines and bowlers capable of chasing down targets. We believe the attackers have a better probability of winning this game.
