AS W vs ST W Dream11: The 50th match of the WBBL 2020 will see Adelaide Strikers Women take on Sydney Thunder Women in an important clash. Both teams are just 1 win away from each other and need a win desperately. AS-W are having a mixed tournament so far and another loss can bring an end to their campaign. Their batting has been a cause of concern for them where apart from Laura Wolvaardt, no other player has played reliably. The loss of Suzie Bates has played a big part in that. The bowling has been superb though. Megan Schutt has started finding her momentum after a slow start to the season while Sarah Coyte is the leading wicket-taker of the season. A win in this game will take the Strikers to the third spot straightaway.

Meanwhile, ST-W are not too far ahead of the Strikers despite being at the third position. With 5 wins and equal no. of losses, they will be looking to consolidate their position going into an in an important phase of the tournament. The batting relies heavily on two international stalwarts Heather Knight and Rachel Haynes and these two haven’t disappointed their team. Knight has been impressive with the ball too. The bowling is something that the Thunder have really excelled with their young bowlers like Samantha Bates and Sammy Jo Johnson looking threatening whenever they have come on to bowl though they will need a bit more from the experienced campaigner Shabnim Ismail. The game is expected to be a close affair between two top bowling attacks of this season.
