Hobart Hurricanes women square off against Brisbane Heat women in match No. 24 of HB-W vs BH-W the Women’s Big Bash League on Saturday, November 4, in Hobart.
The Heat have been in fine form in the tournament, having won four and lost one match so far. Their winning streak of four matches came to a halt when they lost by 59 runs to the Adelaide Strikers. Chasing a 149-run target in Adelaide, Jess Jonassen and Co. were blown away for 89. Brisbane shouldn’t be too perturbed by this defeat as they have been playing good cricket in the tournament, and one off day is quite natural in the unpredictable T20 format.Hobart Hurricanes have turned things around quite commendably, as they have won three games in a row after starting their campaign with two heavy defeats. In their previous game against the Melbourne Stars, the Elyse Villani-led side chased down a target of 143 at home in 19.2 overs.
