Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

The defending champions Brisbane Heat will face the on-song Adelaide Strikers in the 20th match of the ongoing WBBL season. The Heat have struggled a bit this season so far. After defeating the Sydney Sixers in their season opener, they lost to the Thunder and Scorchers before getting back to the winning ways against the Hobart Hurricanes.

The team needs to be a bit more consistent to stay in the contention for the semi-finals. The Strikers, on the other hand, are looking a team to beat so far. Though they lost to the Melbourne Renegades, the side led by Suzie Bates is certainly the one to watch out for this season. It will be an interesting battle between two good sides.

Weather Condition/Report:

Mackay will witness a decent amount of rain in the lead up to this game. But things will dramatically clear up just before the match. It is expected to sunny at 6 PM and the dark clouds will also clear up later in the evening with the temperature expected to be around 24 Degrees Celsius.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Like Burnie, even Mackay hosted a couple of matches in the last WBBL season. The venue will host the two teams twice over the weekend. Last season in both the matches, the team batting first won the match. The pitch might slow down as the game progresses and expect the team winning the toss to bat first.

Average first innings score: 156 (2 matches played last season)

Record of the chasing teams: Won – 0; Lost – 2

Top Picks:

Sophie Devine has been the top run-scorer for Adelaide Strikers while she has also picked five wickets with the ball. Even Suzie Bates has bowled in a couple of innings but her batting is not up to the mark so far in this tournament. All-rounder Tahlia McGrath has also done a fair job in her role.

For the Brisbane Heat, Beth Mooney and Jess Jonassen have to be picked in your Dream11 Fantasy side. Both of them have been superb in their respective roles. Amelia Kerr hasn’t picked up a wicket after her three-wicket haul but could be picked in the team.
