PS-W vs HB-W Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update – WBBL 2020, Match 8

Match Details:

The 8th match of the  Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 will be played between Perth Scorchers Women and Hobart Hurricanes Women at the Hurstville Oval, Sydney.

This match is scheduled to start at 02:30 PM Local Time (09:00 AM IST) and it will be streamed live on Sony Six and Sony Six HD.

Preview:

Perth Scorers and Hobart Hurricanes will square off against each other on Monday. On the opening day of the tournament, both these teams failed to impress. The Perth Scorchers conceded a 7-wicket win to the defending champions Brisbane Heat. Their batsmen couldn’t deliver in this game and that is one area they would like to improve upon.

Hobart Hurricanes’ batting performance was comparatively even worse. They were bowled out for only 84 runs against the Adelaide Strikers and ended up losing the game by 8 wickets. It is a wonderful opportunity for both these sides to get their campaign back on track with a win in this match.
