Probable best batter of the match

Alyssa Healy— Sydney Sixers

Alyssa Healy was simply outstanding for the Sixers in their opening game against the Stars. She opened that batting and single-handedly took her team over the finishing line. The right-hander stayed unbeaten on 57 off 27 balls and her knock was laced with 11 fours. She played at a strike rate of 211.11 and stole the limelight.

Probable best bowler of the match

Radha Yadav– Sydney Sixers

Radha Yadav has bowled excellently for whichever team she has represented. In her maiden BBL outing against the Stars, she didn’t look ruffled by any stretch of the imagination. In favourable batting conditions, she gave away only 15 runs from two overs. If he hits the right channel, Radha can cause a lot of troubles for the Hurricanes’ batters.
