Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women Match Prediction

Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women Team Previews

Hobart Hurricanes Women

The Hobart Hurricanes Women have only won two of their past six WBBL games. Despite winning their opening game of the competition, the Hobart Hurricanes Women’s have struggled to find a rhythm or momentum moving forward. They have blasted hot and cold winds and are unable to link together wins. Heading into this match after a loss would also not help. The middle order was in the locker room well before fourth over since they were limited to 3-20. Mignon du Preez, who batted in the middle order, revitalized their innings with a stunning 73 off 54 not out. Nicola Carey, who provided 30 runs, was a big help to her. Given their poor start, finishing at 164-7 was an excellent result. The bowlers were almost there, but a wild innings from Laura Harris stole the game away. Molly Strano and Maisy Gibson were outstanding, both taking two wickets and allowing less than six runs per over. They lost a game they should have won due to poor bowling. The Hobart Hurricanes will seek to replicate their success against the Melbourne Renegades from the opposite fixture.

Melbourne Renegades Women

The Melbourne Renegades Women have been extremely disappointing after making a strong start to the competition by winning their opening match. Having a six-game losing run has severely harmed their chances of cracking the top four. Having a win under their belt on their most recent trip will provide them with a load of favor, and they will try to maintain this confidence. The bowling unit performed an outstanding job, limiting Sydney Thunder Women to 121 runs and collecting 6 wickets in the innings. The spinners performed an excellent job of picking up wickets at regular intervals and denying the batters any impetus. Shabnim Ismail took two wickets, but Ella Hayward was the hero, taking two wickets and allowing only 14 runs in four overs. The batting section made certain that the hard effort of the bowlers was not in vain. Nevertheless, while pursuing 121, the top order fell, causing the Melbourne Renegades some issues. Captain Sophie Molineux and Courtney Webb ensured that they did not blow this game, collecting 55 and 29, accordingly.
