HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

New South Wales Breakers Women Preview

New South Wales bounced back in the last game after having lost their previous outing against the same opposition. They failed to defend 259 runs against South Australia in Adelaide in a closely fought game.

However, in the very next outing, NSW were on top with the bowlers wreaking havoc at the Adelaide Oval. Despite a poor performance from the batters who saw NSW post a meagre 190-run total, Cheatle, Brown, and Bates delivered a 62-run win for the defending champions.

Katie Mack, opening batter and the second-highest run-scorer of the tournament, is one to watch. She’s looked in good rhythm in the last two outings. However, she hasn’t found support from her opening partner, Tahlia Wilson, whose batting returns in the last three innings read 7, 5, and 12.

Though Georgia Adams is a reliable player lower down the order at number 5 and has support from others like Lucy Finn and the experienced right-arm medium pacer Sarah Coyte, NSW's middle-order struggles are a serious issue.

Finn and Coyte rebuilt the innings after a collapse against Tasmania with scores of 64 and 82, respectively. Adams has also scored two fifties in her last two outings. However, the middle order of Anerika Learoyd and Claire Moore has looked out of form and coupled with Wilson’s lack of runs at the top, NSW Women’s top 4 looks vulnerable.

The in-form bowling attack will be their strength coming into this game. Skipper Lauren Cheatle picked 4 for 32 the last time they played Queensland. Leg-break googly bowler Frankie Nicklin has been consistent lately and is a key bowler to watch.

Queensland Fire Women Preview

This is Queensland’s third final in three seasons. They lost to NSW Women last year and will be out to avenge their loss. QLD can end their losing run in the Finals this year. Their bowling prowess, in contrast with the home team’s batting vulnerabilities, paints a good picture for Queensland.

In their last head-to-head encounter, Queensland gave NSW a hard time while defending a 188-run total. The bowlers picked consistent breakthroughs, not allowing a single 50+ partnership in the innings.

Grace Parsons was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 47, with QLD picking up a total of 9 wickets in that game. Parsons was the player of the match in the next outing with 5 for 37 as Queensland bowled out Victoria for 238 runs, securing a 50-run victory.

While Parsons continued her wicket-taking streak in the last game, she was joined by Charli Knott, who finished with 3 for 8 as they bowled out Victoria for 104 runs while bowling first. Parsons and Knott can get through the top 4 of the NSW lineup, putting the hosts on the back foot.

Jess Jonassen and Sianna Ginger would then finish the job, getting through NSW’s tail that features some in-form and reliable batters. In the batting lineup, skipper Georgia Redmayne and former captain and all-rounder Jess Jonassen are key players in the top order.

The opening duo has a lot riding on their shoulders. The middle order looks solid with Charli Knott and Grace Harris, followed by Lauren Winfield-Hill and Siana Ginger in the lower middle order. It is a great-looking batting order with many impactful all-rounders.

Interesting Stats

Grace Parsons has picked up 11 wickets in the last three games for Queensland

Georgia Redmayne has scored 3 hundreds and a fifty so far this season

Queensland Fire Women Predicted Playing XI:

Georgia Redmayne (c & wk), Jess Jonassen, Charli Knott, Grace Harris, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Sianna Ginger, Lucinda Bourke, Annie O'Neil, Nicola Hancock, Ruby Strange, Grace Parsons
