Preview

Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers are set to cross swords in Match No.7 of the 2021 WBBL on Tuesday, October 19 at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. It’s a rematch of Sunday’s fixture at the same venue. On October 17, the Scorchers beat the Heat after the game went into the Super Over.

After a brilliant start to their run-chase, the Heat couldn’t get over the line in their mandatory 20 overs. Thereafter, Sophie Devine smashed Jess Jonassen for two sixes to take the Scorchers home. The Scorchers have a power-packed batting unit and the Heat may not find it easy in the next game.

Probable best batter of the match

Sophie Devine— Perth Scorchers Women

Sophie Devine is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket for a long time. She has also been prolific for the Scorchers in the WBBL. In the previous game, she opened the batting and scored a 12-ball 19 with two fours and a six. Thereafter, she got two wickets before showing her class with the bat in the one-over eliminator.

Probable best bowler of the match

Marizanne Kapp – Perth Scorchers Women

Marizanne Kapp is a deadly prospect with both bat and ball. The veteran cricketer has done things with precision for South Africa and she is expected to do the same for the Scorchers as well. In the first game, she got out on nine, but had bowling figures of 4-1-18-1. The Heat need to be at their best while countering her.
