Match 38 of the WBBL 2021 has Sydney Thunder Women (ST-W) taking on Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W) at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide on Tuesday.

They will be keen to overturn their form in front of their home crowd against the defending champions Sydney Thunder, who have been equally disappointing in WBBL 2021. With time running out and both teams eyeing a big win, a cracking game beckons at the Karen Rolton Oval.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Karen Rolton Oval is a decent one to bat on despite ample help on offer for the bowlers. Although the pacers should get the ball to move around early on, it should skid nicely on to the bat. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down, bringing the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.

Today’s AS-W vs ST-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tahlia Wilson: Tahlia Wilson has done fairly well since being promoted to the top of the Thunder's batting unit. Adding in her wicketkeeping skills makes her a good option for your AS-W vs ST-W Dream11 fantasy team and should give her the nod over Tegan McPharlin, who is likely to bat in the lower order for the Adelaide Strikers.

Batter

Laura Wolvaardt: Laura Wolvaardt has blown hot and cold in this tournament despite scoring over 100 runs at a healthy strike rate. She is one of the best batters in the world and, given her potential, should score some runs at the expense of the Thunder's bowlers in this fixture.

All-rounder

Deepti Sharma: Deepti Sharma has been the Thunder's best player in WBBL 2021 with a heap of runs and wickets to show for her efforts. She will look to continue her fine form in this game as well, making her a must-have in your AS-W vs ST-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Amanda Wellington: Amanda Wellington's form has tailed off a bit in the last few games, which has dented the Strikers' fortunes severely. However, she is not one to be kept down for long and should ideally bounce back with a better performance in front of the home support on Tuesday.
