Womens Big Bash, 2018 | Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunders, Match 11 Preview | AS-W vs ST-W Who Will Win
The 14th match of the ongoing Womens Big Bash will see Adelaide Strikers lock horns with Sydney Thunders in what is expected to be a riveting encounter at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
The Strikers last game ended in a no result as inclement weather forced the match to be abandoned. They started their 2018 campaign with a 36-run win over Brisbane Heat before succumbing to a six-wicket loss against the Renegades.
The Thunders, on the other hand, have had a good campaign thus far, having notched up two wins in three games including a shock six-wicket win over defending champions Sydney Sixers.
They come into this game after having notched up a 28-run win over Brisbane Heat where they successfully defended 4-192 as Stefanie Taylor [3-23] and Maisy Gibson [3-18] wrecked through Brisbane Heat batting.
