Adelaide Strikers Women vs Sydney Thunder Women Probable XIs

Adelaide Strikers Women

Team selection is going to be tough for Adelaide Strikers Women in this game. Their big names have failed to deliver goods so far, and the bench is not heavily stacked with quality. Nell Bryson Smith could get a chance in place of Madeline Penna.

Probable 11: Dane van Niekerk, Katie Mack, Laura Wolvaardt, Tahlia McGrath (C), Madeline Penna/ Nell Bryson Smith, Bridget Patterson, Amanda Wellington, Tegan McPharlin (WK), Sarah Coyte, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown

Sydney Thunder Women

Smriti Mandhana and Tahlia Wilson will lead the batting unit of the Thunder Women, while skipper Hannah Darlington, alongside Isabelle Wong and Samantha Bates, will handle bowling duties. In the absence of quality backups, no changes are expected in their playing eleven.

Probable 11: Smriti Mandhana, Tahlia Wilson (WK), Phoebe Litchfield, Corinne Hall, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Deepti Sharma, Anika Learoyd, Hannah Darlington (C), Lauren Smith, Isabelle Wong, Samantha Bates

Adelaide Strikers Women vs Sydney Thunder Women Prediction

Adelaide Strikers Women splendidly started their campaign with back-to-back wins. However, everything has gone south for them ever since. They are now on a 4-game losing run, and momentum is entirely against them.

Sydney Thunder Women, at the same time, have managed to revive themselves a bit after a terrible start. They have now won two of their last three matches and will feel confident of registering another victory.

Prediction: Sydney Thunder Women are expected to win this contest.
