Preview:

Queensland Women will host Tasmania Women in the last of the two matches for both teams in the first round of the WNCL 2019-20 campaign. Both the teams began the tournament with a defeat against the Western Australia Women; both the matches played at the South District Cricket Club. This venue in Brisbane will be hosting the two sides that suffered defeats in the hands of Queensland.

Queensland’s top-order crumbled in the opening game of the tournament. Jemma Barsby rescued the team from 104/8 by scoring a 70-ball 63. Her effort could only push the hosts to 189/10 which wasn’t enough for a win. Later on Sunday, the Tasmania Women fell 17 runs short of the 195-run target. Corinne Hall fought till the end for Tasmania with a 55-run knock before being the 9th wicket to fall.

For the 3rd time in as many days, the Souths District Cricket Club is expected to have clear weather without any threat from the rain.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Twice in two days, the Souths District Cricket Club saw the fall of wickets in the initial overs of the match as it starts at 9:30 AM local time. The spinners dominated later on and the same is could be seen on Monday. Chasing down targets under 200 is possible for the teams batting second here.

Jemma Barsby might not get a chance to bat up the order but showed her potential scoring fifty in the first match. Georgia Redmayne will have a crucial role to play in the Queensland line-up.

Captain – Nicole Bolton, Sophie Devine, Corinne Hall, Sasha Moloney
