Pitch Report

With this being the second match of the day, the pitch could be on the slower side with runscoring being a tad difficult. The pacers should get the ball to swing and bounce a bit, keeping the batters on their toes. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs with there being ample turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key, as always, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.

Today’s PS-W vs BH-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Beth Mooney: Beth Mooney is one of the most consistent batters in WBBL history with her ability to score quick runs at the top of the order being a valuable asset. With Devine partnering her, Mooney should have ample time to get her eye in and set herself up for the long haul, making her a must-have in your PS-W vs BH-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Chamari Atapattu: Chamari Atapattu has been brought in by the Scorchers to add solidity to the top order and also chip in with the ball if required. Her experience and ability to influence the game with both bat and ball makes her a good asset to the Scorchers.

All-rounder

Grace Harris: Grace Harris has been a stalwart in the Brisbane Heat set-up, with her all-round ability adding much-needed balance to the middle order. She is one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball, and with the Aussie all-rounder also capable of picking up wickets in the middle overs, she is ideally one to watch out for in this game.

Bowler

Poonam Yadav: Star recruit Poonam Yadav has fond memories of playing in Australia with her leg-spin being highly-rated in Australia. Given the Heat's tendency to get the best out of their spinners, Poonam is a great addition to your PS-W vs BH-W Dream11 fantasy team.
