Perth Scorchers will lock horns with Brisbane Heat in the 14th fixture of the Women’s Big Bash League 2024 (WBBL 2024) at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth on Tuesday, November 05. Perth are in the fifth position after two games with 2 points and an NRR of -0.193. Meanwhile, Brisbane are in third place with 4 points from three games and an NRR of 0.665.
Perth Scorchers started their WBBL 10 campaign with a 13-run win against Melbourne Stars, but suffered a defeat to Melbourne Renegades in their next game. Batting first, they managed to put on just 140 on the board in their last match and lost the game by 6 wickets. So far, only Beth Mooney has scored more than 50 runs for the team.
However, Perth has many solid batters. Alana King has led their bowling unit with 5 wickets in 2 innings at an economy of 7.85. Lilly Mills, Chloe Ainsworth, and Ebony Hoskin are decent options too but might struggle against Brisbane’s strong batting unit. The Scorchers will be aiming to bounce back with a win.
On the other hand, Brisbane Heat suffered their first defeat of the season in their previous game after winning two back-to-back games. Batting first, they put on a healthy 173-5 on the board against Hobart Hurricanes, but that didn’t prove to be enough. Opener Grace Harris top-scored in that game with a superb 75 off just 57 balls. Georgia Redmayne has also been having a good season with the bat and has already scored 74 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 131.
Jemimah Rodrigues looked in fine touch as she smashed 45 off 27 in the match against Hobart, which was her first match of the season. The bowling lineup looks strong too, with Shikha Pandey and Grace Parsons both having 4 wickets each from 3 innings.
