[NYRB]

And this is where Brisbane missed a trick last night. They really needed to go harder in a chase where they had the game wrapped up at the change of innings.

 

[NYRB]

Brisbane played like a side that was just 'happy to win ' last night.

 

[cats_09]

32 off the two surge over for the loss of no wickets

Thunder went at 3/6 from theirs I believe

That could well be the difference

 

[NYRB]

This result probably means Brisbane will just look to win to secure 2nd spot tomorrow .

I see the Heat beating Sixers comfortably but not be the same margin as what the Gades have done to the Thunder here.

 

[cats_09]

Been some good running between these two

Really seems to have been the mindset of - look for the boundary and then go back from there, and not the boundary or nothing ball we've seen all too often

 

[cats_09]

Matthews with no WBBL 50s since season 1, and now she's had two in just a few games to get us over the line in run chases that could have been tricky

Standings after game 37:

 

[cats_09]

Renegades have nailed their tactics . I was a criticiser of Helmut but he has proved me wrong.

In regards to Helmut, one common theme that's been said by all players in interviews when asked about him is the belief & fun his installed in the team this season

It's been about believing they can win, having fun & enjoying themselves - got to say, watching our wins, that element of fun has been a common theme amongst them


Listening to Stalenberg on the player mic on Thursday night when she was asked about Dottin - she trains when she wants but she's great to be around. That's some good coaching there to know a player of her experience understands her game enough to know that she knows what she needs to do, but she seems a great player to have around this group

I also wonder if having Dottin in the team this season has helped Matthews, as she's now got a fellow WI player alongside her, and it does seem sometimes that the internationals play better when they aren't the only one from their country

 

[NYRB]

If Brisbane chase a Sixers target tomorrow, they have chase any target of the Sixers with 40 balls to spare at worst, to overtake the Renegades to overtake them and host Grand Final rights. Hard to see that happening.

If Brisbane bat first, what would the equation be or would that depend on the target?

 

[NYRB]

According to my spreadsheet for Brisbane to host the Grand Final if they were to bat 1st against the Sixers:



Fair to say Brisbane will need something special to get Top Spot right now.

Their chance was last night.

 

[NYRB]

You do think if Brisbane score 200 odd, even the Sixers could manage to get within 50 runs of that target given the form Perry is in.

Brisbanes best bet to overtake Renegades on NRR is to chase. I dont see a world where Brisbane go for it chasing 140 off 80 balls though. A wicket or 2 early will quickly shut the gates on that.

 

[NYRB]

If i was guessing man, the Renegades chances of hosting the Grand Final right now is about 93%.

But this WBBL season has thrown things at us when you least expect.

Kinda need the Hurricanes to have a tight win today which can in return give the Sixers something to play for themselves with an outside chance to push for finals

 

[cats_09]

I know this isn't WBBL specific, but looking at this squad it seems a few selections are on reputation rather than the form we've seen this WBBL

so specifically Gardner? who else?

 

[cats_09]

so specifically Gardner? who else?

Not sure Sutherland has been in the best of form this tournament, and Brown could potentially consider herself lucky as well

JJ definitely stiff to miss selection - got to wonder who she's pissed off because surely she couldn't have done much more to push for a recall

 

[Moonwatcher]

so specifically Gardner? who else?

Brown has been dropped from the Strikers.

Game 38:

Hobart Hurricanes Women (Playing XI): Lizelle Lee(w), Elyse Villani(c), Nicola Carey, Heather Graham, Suzie Bates, Tabatha Saville, Kathryn Bryce, Molly Strano, Amy Smith, Lauren Smith, Rosemary Mair


Perth Scorchers Women (Playing XI): Beth Mooney(w), Maddy Darke, Brooke Halliday, Sophie Devine(c), Chloe Piparo, Mikayla Hinkley, Carly Leeson, Chloe Ainsworth, Alana King, Amy Louise Edgar, Ebony Hoskin

Perth Scorchers Women have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Tyron OUT, Mair IN for Hobart

 

[NYRB]

The backing up from the Canes was bad there.

5 conceded.

 

[NYRB]

A misfield leads to a run out.

Perth 23/1 off 20 balls. Darke goes. Hobart fortunate.

 

[cats_09]

What was Mooney thinking there - there was never a run

 

[NYRB]

Perth might be tempted to take surge early with Devine and Mooney there.

 

[NYRB]

Power Surge taken by Perth in Overs 13-14.
