Adelaide Strikers had a disastrous start to their Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) campaign. The Tahlia McGrath-led side has managed to win only one out of their four games and are currently at the bottom of the table. The captain herself has played some important knocks, including a half-century in the last game against Melbourne Renegades but they need to win more games to stay in the race to qualify for the playoffs.
Up next, they play Brisbane Heat, who are fifth on the table. They have lost back-to-back three games in the competition, and are in a very tight spot as well. Their batting unit has struggled heavily in recent times and that is one concern that the team management needs to address ahead of the upcoming match on November 9.
