In the 10th match of the ongoing Women's Big Bash League, Hobart Hurricanes will be facing Brisbane Heat Women on Saturday at Drummoyne Oval in Sydney. Hurricanes had a splendid start to their campaign, winning both of their games. Having beaten Sydney Thunder and Sydney Sixers in their previous games, Hobart Hurricanes are high on confidence and in breathtaking form heading into this clash.
Brisbane Heat Women, on the other hand, are coming off two consecutive defeats, having kicked off their campaign on a disastrous note. They lost to Melbourne Renegades Women and Perth Scorchers Women in their last games to remain at the bottom of the points table.
They are desperately in need of a win to revive their campaign. Their experienced players Nadine de Klerk, Jemimah Rodrigues and Jess Jonassen, who have been unable to step up in the previous games, would be expected to make their strong return to help the side clinch their first win of the season.
