WBBL 2020 - MS-W vs ST-W Fantasy Preview

On the first day of the Rebel Women’s Big Bash league (WBBL), we had a couple of games washed out and we’re here with another round of matches. You can refer to scorecards of those games that were played for a reference of the possible team combinations. However, for Match 5 of WBBL 2020, you won’t have that luxury as both teams were part of rained out games.

Sydney Thunder Women is one of the teams in action today and they’re up against Melbourne Stars Women. The latter had a little bit of match time before the rain Gods came out, scoring 127/4 in 17 overs before the match was abandoned.

Numbers

Last 4 completed games head to head, Thunder Women lead 4-0.
Meg Lanning last three professional scores – 51*, 101*, 62*.
Rachael Haynes last three scores for Aus Women – 96, 82, 44.

Melbourne Stars Women

The side is being captained by Meg Lanning and this girl is in fine form, with 2 fifties and a century in her last three games and we don’t remember the last time she was dismissed for a single digit score. She opens the innings and she did so with Elyse Villani in their last game and while the latter got a golden duck in the last game, she had 3 fifties in her last 8 innings prior to that, so both are worth adding to your MS-W vs ST-W fantasy team.

With 5 single digit scores in her last 6 games, one may think Natalie Sciver is slightly out of form but she’s been one of the most reliant all-rounders in the English side over the years, so she’s an option for your fantasy captain or vice-captain as well. With 6 wickets in her last 3 limited overs games for different sides, Holly Ferling is someone who won’t cost you much but could fetch you some decent fantasy points.

Sydney Thunder Women

This team is being led by Rachael Haynes who didn’t get to play in their last game which was abandoned but she has a couple of consecutive fifties for Australia Women of late, so she should definitely be a part of your fantasy team. While she doesn’t have any international experience, Samantha Bates has 2 wickets in each of her last 3 games for Tasmania Women, so she’s worth picking as well today.

If you’re looking for a Nostragamus (Get Rs.200 FREE) fantasy team captain or vice-captain, try Heather Knight who may be expensive in terms of credits but she’s been one of the leading all-rounders for England Women over the years. With 99 international T20 wickets for South Africa so far, we think one great pick with the ball for today and the rest of this tournament for Thunder Women is Shabnim Ismail.
