Team Previews
Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W)
Adelaide Strikers women have a well-balanced squad with experienced batters who have delivered in high-pressure matches. Their spin attack is among the better ones in the league, giving them an edge in the middle overs. At this venue, they may look to bat first, set a competitive total and then apply pressure through economical bowling spells. Their challenge will be to maintain intensity in the death overs and avoid giving away easy runs.
Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W)
Perth Scorchers Women have star power in their batting line-up and bowlers capable of making breakthroughs. However, away from home they have had mixed results. Their key to winning will be getting a strong start with the bat and ensuring their bowlers strike early in the power-play overs. With boundaries accessible and the pitch favouring batters, their fielding and execution will need to be sharp.
