AS-W vs BH-W Match Preview

The Brisbane Heat will face the Adelaide Strikers in the Women's Big Bash League at the Gabba. Heat, after losing three games in a row, will be eager to face Strikers, a team against which they've had a lot of achievements in the last month or so. Within the last 25 days, the Brisbane girls have defeated their Adelaide counterparts twice at the T20 Spring Challenge as well as in the WBBL. On the other hand, the Strikers, who have lost three of their last four games, will be wary of facing a team like the Heat, who have recently beaten them fair and square.

AS-W vs BH-W Probable Winners:

We anticipate a thrilling first game of the season. The Brisbane Heat Women have a strong team, but they will be without some of their biggest stars in the first few games. The young guns must perform admirably for the team to win. Adelaide Strikers Women boast an experienced bowling lineup and strong hitters. The team will begin as favorites in this game because it is being played at home. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers-W is expected to win this match.

Brisbane start well with a win but they will start having availability concerns with both Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne in doubt for the next game. The same goes with Adelaide Strikers who start with a strong line-up, sans Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle, who switched sides now.

AS vs BH Key Players

Matthew Short

Adelaide is full of talent but Matthew Short has been a specific one to watch. Over the last two seasons, he has been pretty prolific and is now in and around the national side as well, highlighting his good work over the recent few months.

Spencer Johnson

The last year has been pretty good for Spencer Johnson. After a lot of toil, he got into the national team and also impressed Josh Hazlewood with his pace. He is a talent to watch and with his left-arm angle, he could be seen as a replacement for Mitchell Starc in the years to come as well.

AS vs BH Match Tips

Brisbane Heat started the tournament well but their inconsistency remains a concern still.

Match Prediction: Adelaide Strike Will Win the Match
