Women's Big Bash League 2021: Match 8, Melbourne Renegades Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women - Probable 11s, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, Match Prediction and Live Streaming Details

Melbourne Renegades Women cross swords with Adelaide Strikers Women in the eighth match of the Women’s Big Bash League 2021 to be held at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

Melbourne Renegades Women got off to a winning start in the competition. They faced the Hobart Hurricanes and defeated them comprehensively. Sophie Molineux led the side brilliantly and will look to keep up the winning momentum.

The bowlers did a fantastic job of restricting the Hurricanes side to a low total. They knocked them over for 121, with each bowler stepping up. The top-order batters then contributed with the bat to chase down the total with four balls to spare. It was a good all-rounder performance from them in their opening game.

Adelaide Strikers Women, on the other hand, defeated Sydney Thunder Women in their opening game of the competition. On the back of Tahlia McGrath’s all-round performance, the Strikers grabbed their first points of the tournament.

After being asked to bat first, the Strikers Women posted 140 on the board. The bowlers then stepped up and backed their bowlers as the Thunder Women were bundled out for 110. The Strikers won their first game by 30 runs and will look to repeat their performances in their next outing.
