Preview

Same opponents. Same venue. But, a different day. The Melbourne Renegades and the Hobart Hurricanes, who squared off against each other on Saturday, will be back on the field once again on Sunday. On the last ball of the game, the Renegades managed to pull off a victory on Saturday. Despite being ahead in the game, the Hurricanes couldn’t really hold on to the crucial moments in the match.

Jess Duffin played a captain’s knock and helped her team register a memorable victory. As these two teams meet once again this season, the Hobart Hurricanes will want to correct their mistakes and come out with flying colours this time. On the other hand, the Melbourne Renegades will look to carry forward the momentum and register yet another win in this edition of WBBL.

Weather Report

It will be quite cold on Sunday and just as it was on Saturday, the humidity levels will be high. Moreover, with a strong wind blowing around, there could be assistance for the bowlers.
