Women's Big Bash League 2022, Match 2, Sydney Thunder Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

The Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes are set to lock horns in Match No. 2 of the Women's Big Big Bash League (WBBL) 2022 on Friday, October 14. Blacktown International Sportspark in Sydney will host the contest.

The Thunder, led by Rachael Haynes, have a strong squad at their disposal. Haynes didn't take part in the previous edition of the tournament and recently announced her retirement from international cricket. She has replaced Hannah Darlington as the skipper.

Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones and Chloe Tryon will bring loads of experience to the Thunder batting lineup. Sammy Jo-Johnson, who has been excellent in the WBBL and Women's Hundred, needs to be on top of her game.

The Hurricanes, captained by Ellyse Villani, also have a strong squad. Villani, who moved to the Hurricanes from the Melbourne Stars, is expected to lead the team from the front. Lizelle Lee and Villani are most likely to open the batting for them.

Issy Wong, in the meantime, was ruled out after which the Hurricanes roped in New Zealand's Hayley Jensen. Mignon du Preez adds stability to their middle order. A lot will also depend on young leg-spinner Amy Smith.
