WBBL 2022: Match 10, HB-W vs ST-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WBBL match between Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Sydney Thunders Women?

With the hope of winning their second game of the season, Hobart Hurricanes will lock horns against Sydney Thunders - the only team they defeated so far in the season. In the meantime, the Thunders lost both their opening encounters and are desperate to get a win under their belt to kickstart their mission for the playoffs.

However, things will be extremely difficult after an embarrassing defeat in the previous match. Their batting has been extremely poor so far and if it doesn’t change, it’s going to be a long and hard tournament for the Thunders, s

omething they have seen in the previous season as well. Interestingly, the team is decent on paper but the players have failed massively in order to keep up with the show. They already faced defeat at the hands of Hobart earlier in the season and as things stand, they need to pull a massive shift to take revenge.

Hobart, on the other hand, will be relaxed and confident but their recent defeat at the hands of Perth Scorchers will be tough to digest. Their batting collapse will be an eye-opener for the team but they’ll not pay much attention to it after just one defeat. Bowling is one area they would look to improve in the coming match.
