No reported injuries and that is a piece of good news. But there is some bad news for Ellie Johnston and Courtney Grace Sippel. Their wait continues as they will be benched for this game as well. Brisbane’s top run-getter has been the wicket-keeper batter Georgia Redmayne, who has a strike rate of 118. Grace Harris who is also in the race has a better strike rate than Georgia but she still has to work on playing long innings. Another player to look out for has to be Jess Jonassen with an economy of 4.28.

Adelaide Strikers Women vs Brisbane Heat Women Predictions
It is not going to be an easy pitch at Invermay Park, Launceston in Australia as there are chances of 3-14c with light showers and a moderate breeze. Overall it is a good pitch for batting but can get slow till the second innings and might not help the batters that much. Whosoever wins the toss will want to bat first considering the forecast and also a strong batting lineup. Both the sides are very balanced and boast a great batting unit. The only deciding factor will be the bowling attack. With doubt, the Strikers can pull off a win here with a bowling attack like that but the upper hand has to be with Brisbane Heat. Indian star Poonam Yadav and Nadine de Klerk can do wonders on a pitch like that.
