HB-W vs MS-W Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for WBBL 2021, Match 20

Match 20 of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2021 will see the Hobart Hurricanes Women (HB-W) take on Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) at the Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Wednesday

The Hobart Hurricanes suffered a tough loss at the hands of the Brisbane Heat earlier in the week, leaving them with just one win in five games. They will be keen to return to winning ways with a better performance against the Stars, who defended a low total against a star-studded Thunder side on Tuesday. Led by Meg Lanning, the Stars are on a two-match winning streak and would love to make it three, but the Hurricanes are capable of playing spoilsport in the fixture.

Pitch Report

Although the pitch at the Aurora Stadium is a decent one to bat on, the pacers should enjoy the conditions upfront. There is enough swing on offer to keep the pacers upbeat and the batters on their toes in the early stages. As the match progresses, the pitch should ease out, bringing the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be key towards the backend of the innings, with 120-130 being a good total at the venue.
