Jess Jonassen and Grace Harris starring every game, and with Georgia Redmayne joining their party, it has only sweetened the combination for them. Winning seven matches on a trot after four consecutive losses are no joke. They bring an exceptional winning momentum and have played like a true champion. They shall be favorites entering into this game.
On the other hand, their opponents, Sydney Thunder, have blown hot and cold this season. They were completing the league stage on the third position with seven wins and 16 points in their bag. They come into this game on the back of a stunning victory over Hobart Hurricanes, where Shabnim Ismail bowled a beautiful spell of 3 wickets for ten runs. They have been one of the most consistent sides this season, but results haven’t always gone their way.

The venue, Pitch Report, and Toss Prediction:
The pitch at the North Sydney Oval Stadium is a competitive one, with a smidgen in it for all. The fast bowlers should get the ball to swing across in the powerplay, but the batters might still look to take the strike to them with the field restrictions in effect.

The batters will need to keep an eye out for variable bounce, paving the way for an even contest between bat and ball. Our Women’s BBL Match Prediction predicts that teams will opt to the ball first on winning the toss. Therefore, the toss will be critical.
Key Players to watch:
- Sammy Jo-Johnson and Heather Knight of the Sydney Thunder Women and Jess Jonassen and Georgia Redmayne of the Brisbane Heat Women will be key players.
