ADSW vs SYTW Team Previews
Adelaide Strikers Women
Adelaide Strikers Women have been in terrible form and have lost their previous four matches in WBBL 2021-22. The Strikers actually started the tournament positively but have since struggled to make a comeback and are now pretty much out of the race for the playoff berth.
On the face of it, players like Dane van Niekerk, Tahlia McGrath, and Laura Wolvaardt should have been able to provide better batting support than they did. Is there any reason (apart from past reputations) to expect them to change things around in this match? Not really.
The bowling is also quite weak and struggled to pick wickets or keep the runs down.
We don't agree with the cricket betting sites that have the Adelaide Strikers Women as the clear favorites.
Adelaide Strikers Women Playing 11
Dane van Niekerk, Katie Mack, Laura Wolvaardt, T McGrath, B Patterson, Maddie Penna, Amanda Wellington, T McPharlin, S Coyte, Jemma Barsby, Megan Schutt.
Sydney Thunder Women
Sydney Thunder Women have won two out of their previous three matches and seem to be just a slight upturn as their WBBL 2021-22 season winds down. Thunder has underperformed throughout the season and has been one of the most disappointing sides.
Still, two wins in its three matches are a good sign and something to work with.
Smriti Mandhana, Tahlia Wilson, and Phoebe Litchfield are as good a batting lineup as the Adelaide Strikers Women and so it is just about performing on the given day. Sammy-Jo Johnson batting down the order also adds some depth that could give it a slight advantage.
The bowling unit for Sydney Thunder is not very special. There is Sammy-Jo Johnson leading the way and then nothing much thereafter.
