PES vs HOH Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – WBBL 2020, Match 8

Match Details:

The 8th match of the  Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 will be played between Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes at the Hurstville Oval, Sydney.

This match is scheduled to start at 02:30 PM Local Time (09:00 AM IST) and it will be streamed live on Sony Six and Sony Six HD.

Preview:

The Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes didn’t have a great start to the tournament. In their respective opening games, they lost by 7 and 8 wickets. Both these sides struggled with the bat and failed to put up a good total on the board. It required an extraordinary effort from the bowlers if they were to win this match but nothing of that sorts happened. Hence, on the second day, when they will be back on the field once again, one can expect them to push hard for a win and bag those two crucial points in the early part of the tournament.
