Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

The first WBBL 2019 game on Saturday pits Perth Scorchers against the much-fancied, Sydney Sixers in Perth. Both teams are placed in the top four of the Points Table with twelve points each. While Perth comes into this game on the back of a decimating win over Melbourne Stars, Sydney Sixers has lost two games on the trot.

It doesn’t end here for the Sixers with captain, Elyse Perry out for at least two weeks. However, this provides an opportunity for the likes of Hollie Armitage and Ashleigh Gardener to step up and provide the goods for the Sixers against a decent Perth bowling unit. Both teams will be eyeing a win which would strengthen their case for a knockout place.

Weather Condition/Report:

A clear day with no chance of rain is on the forecast. Humidity of 40%, as per AccuWeather, is expected with the temperature expected to hover between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius with a breeze from one end as well.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Not much is known of this venue although pitches in WBBL 2019 tend to be helpful for the pacers. Nevertheless, the spinners should also get some turn and bounce from the surface with either side looking to bat first on this surface upon winning the toss.

Average score: N/A

Record of Chasing Team: N/A

Injury and Availability News:

Ellyse Perry and Lauren Cheatle are not the part of the squad due to injury.

Probable Playing XIs for Dream11 Fantasy

Perth Scorchers:

Meg Lanning (C), Amy Ellen Jones (WK), Georgia Redmayne, Nat Sciver, Emma King, Heather Graham, Chloe Piparo, Kim Garth, Teneale Peschel, Sam Betts, Jemma Barsby

Bench: Nicole Bolton, Piepa Cleary, Mathilda Carmichael

Sydney Sixers:

Alyssa Healy (C & WK), Hollie Armitage, Ashleigh Gardner, Dane van Niekerk, Erin Burns, Marizanne Kapp, Sarah Aley, Stella Campbell, Maddy Darke, Lauren Smith, Hayley Silver-Holmes

Bench: Jodie Hicks

Top Picks:

Alyssa Healy hasn’t been at her best this season. Although she is only one of two centurions in WBBL 2019-20, Healy has amassed 297 runs at an average of 33. While these aren’t bad numbers, Healy is capable of much more at the top of the order.  Her counterpart, Meg Lanning is in decent form as well for Perth Scorchers.

With 309 runs to her name, she has complemented Amy Jones in the powerplay overs with a century stand between them in their previous outing. Hollie Armitage had a decent Women Cricket Super League 2019 with 233 runs alongside Alyssa Healy for the Yorkshire Diamonds. With the youngster filling in for Ellyse Perry, she is a bankable option for this game in your Dream11 Fantasy team.
