Match Details:

The 10th match of the Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) 2019/20 will be played between Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Women and Queensland Women at the Blacktown International Sportspark 1, Sydney.

The match starts at 10:00 AM local time (4:30 AM IST) (11:00 PM GMT – Prev Day)

Preview:

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Women remained unbeaten in the first leg of the tournament as they registered back to back wins. They got better of Victoria Women and South Australia Women by close margins. Their 2nd round begins against Queensland Women on Tuesday in Sydney. The Queensland Women lost to Western Australia Women but bounced back with a 101-run victory over Tasmania in September. They are boosted by the inclusion of the International players for the 2nd round and are likely to start with a big win.

Weather Condition/Report:

Rain is expected at regular intervals on Tuesday at the Blacktown oval and we could be in for a shortened match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Blacktown Olympic Park Oval ground in Sydney usually produces sluggish tracks. Hence, we might not see totals more than 200 often and even those will be quite tough to chase down. There are good chances of rain for Tuesday’s match and it could quicken the pitch.

Average first innings score: 202 (Women’s List A Matches since 2018/19)

Record of chasing teams: Won – 0, Lost – 2
