Preview:                

The WBBL 2020 have reached the business end, on the last day of the league stage Sydney Thunder Women and Hobart Hurricanes Women will face each other in the 53rd match. Sydney Thunder are currently sitting at the 3rd spot in the table with 14 points and they need to win their last fixture to guarantee their knockout place.

In their previous match on Saturday, they beat Adelaide Strikers Women by 5 wickets in the last over finish and registered their 6th win of the tournament. They have a better advantage as they went on to win by just one run against Hobart Hurricanes Women when they met last time.

Hobart Hurricanes Women on the other hand had an ordinary tournament so far, they have won only 3 matches and lost 8 matches and 2 of the remaining matches were washed out due to rain and they are at the bottom of the table with 8 points. Batters have struggled throughout the tournament, apart from Rachel Priest none of the other batters have averaged more than 20.

All-rounder Hayley Matthews missing out from the last couple of matches is the major drawback for them. They want to end their campaign with a win and need to come back stronger next year while Sydney Thunder are eying for their 7th win and want to ensure their semi-final spot by winning this game.
