Predicting Brisbane Heat Women’s playing XI for their match against Melbourne Stars Women in WBBL

Brisbane Heat led by Jess Jonassen is currently third in the table with 10 points from 8 games with five wins. The Heat will face Melbourne Stars next and it was against the same team that the Heat side won the game with an easy 6-wicket margin in the last match.

It is a key game for both sides but more so for the Heat side which needs a win to stake a claim in the top two spot. A win over Melbourne would mean that Brisbane will have 12 points from 9 matches and will be in a good position to make it to the playoffs.

Here is the likely Brisbane Heat XI vs Melbourne Stars

Top order – Georgia Redmayne and Grace Harris

Brisbane Heat opener Georgia Redmayne hasn’t been able to score runs with the bat and scored just 137 runs from 8 matches so far. The 31-year-old will have to step up to the plate and score more runs. Fellow opener Grace Harris has been in better form with the bat and scored 243 runs from 8 matches with one fifty.

Middle Order – Jemimah Rodrigues, Charli Knott, Laura Harris

Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been a huge asset to Brisbane ever since she landed in Australia. The likes of Charli Knott and Laura Harris in particular will be playing a key role with the bat and ball during the game against Melbourne. Brisbane Heat will want their middle order to fire with the bat.

Lower-order – Jess Jonassen, Nadine De Klerk, Lucy Hamilton

Skipper Jess Jonassen has been in decent form for Brisbane with 135 runs with an average of 22.5 and also picked 8 wickets with the ball so far. Young South African star Nadine De Klerk hasn’t been able to set the WBBL 2024 on fire but has a lot of class to make a strong comeback. Lucy Hamilton will be the bowler to watch out for during the game as she picked a fifer in the last game against the Stars.

Tail enders – Shikha Pandey, Grace Parson, and Nicola Hancock

Indian pacer Shikhar Pandey has been in good wicket-taking form and will want both Grace Parsons and Nicola Hancock to support her against Melbourne. If the three bowlers fire in tandem the Brisbane side could more or less consider their entry to the playoff stages a certainty.
