WBBL 2022: Match 3, AS-W vs SS-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WBBL match between Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers?

After a nail-biting finish in the first game of the season, Sydney Sixers women's will look forward to win their second match against Adelaide Strikers women's, who are yet to play a game this season. The finalists of the 2021-22 season, Strikers played some really good cricket throughout the tournament but went down against Perth Scorchers in the final. With the hope of changing their fate this season, Tahila McGrath-led side will aim to start the campaign with a win at the Ray Mitchell Oval in Mackay.

Coming back to Sixers, captain Ellyse Perry (55) and Erin Burns (50) were phenomenal in their previous match against Brisbane Heat. Even though it’s too early, their openers struggled in the middle and that can be problematic for the team going forward. When it comes to bowling, Maitlan Brown picked up three wickets in the previous match while Perry picked up two.

Probable best bowler

Darcie Brown

The 19-year-old Darcie Brown may not be in great form at the moment but can change the shape of the game at any given point. With her sheer raw pace, Brown with 20 wickets in 15 matches was the third leading wicket-taker in the last edition of the tournament.
