Brisbane Heat Preview: Out Of Form Heat Hoping Home Comforts Pay Dividends

Brisbane Heat arrive home on the back of three straight losses, which has led to them being bumped out of the play-off places for the time being. You could argue though, that this particularly fixture has come at just the right time, playing another team in poor form and doing so in Brisbane where the crowd will be right behind the Heat.

Adelaide Strikers preview: Back-To-Back Defeats Leaves Strikers Rock Bottom

It’s not been a happy title defence so far for Adelaide Strikers, who have lost three of their four games played. They’ve most recently been on the end of defeats against Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades, the latter by just two wickets.

Brisbane Heat Betting Analysis

With an average of 33.00 and 165 runs accumulated in five innings so far, Grace Harris has been the lynchpin of Brisbane Heat’s batting this year. A stage such as the Gabba should suit a player like Harris down to the ground and bettors should explore investing in her via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market to score 30+ runs against the Strikers.

Adelaide Strikers Betting Analysis

If Adelaide Strikers are to be successful in this encounter, they need their main bowlers to really come up clutch. Megan Schutt is one player capable of doing just that, the Australian international having taken six wickets in this year’s WBBL as it stands. Bowling at a bigger ground may play into Schutt’s favour and it’s worth a small stake on her to pick up over 1.5 match wickets.

Brisbane Heat vs Adelaide Strikers Expert Prediction

Neither of these two sides have been playing consistently good cricket of late and a lack of confidence that comes with an extended run of bad results may be a factor in that. But playing with a partisan home crowd behind them is likely to give Brisbane Heat the boost they need at this point. They won’t have a better chance than this against the WBBL’s bottom-placed side to get back to winning ways, so back them to do just that.
