WNCL 2019-20: Match 14, South Australia Women vs Tasmania Women – Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Match Details:

The 14th match of the Women’s National Cricket League (WNCL) 2019/20 will be played between South Australia Women and Tasmania Women at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide.

The match starts at 9:00 AM local time (3:30 AM IST) (10:00 PM GMT – Prev Day)

Preview:

South Australia Women’s losing streak continued as they lost all the three matches they played in the tournament thus far. The game on Wednesday showed their problem of scoring big runs after a good start. They were 153/3 in the 37th over but bowled out for only 172. The Tasmania Women, who failed to open their account in the first round, had the first taste of success with this win. Nicola Carey’s all-round show played a key role in Tasmania’s victory as she took 2 wickets and followed it with a fifty.

Weather Condition/Report:

The Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide could be under periodic clouds on Thursday but no rain is forecasted.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Karen Rolton Oval produced a slower track after a couple of high-scoring matches in the WNCL. The home side were rolled over for just 172 batting first while the Tasmania chased down it in only 38 overs. It gives a hint of the pitch being better than how the South Australia team made it look like with some poor batting.

Average first innings score: 207 (Unaffected Women’s List A matches)
