Pre-Match Analysis:
Tasmania Women regained the confidence back with impressive back-to-back wins over ACT Women earlier this month. They are alive in the finals race and currently placed 5th in the standings with 23 points. They have a couple of big matches coming up against Victoria Women and must win both of them to keep their hopes alive. Rachel Trenaman, who returned to competitive cricket after a gap of more than one year, scored 2 consecutive half-centuries against ACT Women in the winning cause for Tasmania. Leg Spinner Maisy Gibson is their lead bowler to watch out for, who picked up 21 wickets in the tournament.
They make one change for their final two matches, with Callie Wilson replacing Heather Graham in the squad, who is currently involved with Royal Challengers Bengaluru Women in Women’s Premier League.
Victoria Women are slightly ahead of Tasmania Women and placed 4th in the standings with 25 points. They too are in a must-win situation and must collect a full 8 points from their remaining two matches against Tasmania and also have a close look at the results of South Australia. Ella Hayward and Nicole Faltum are their key batters, who both have scored more than 300 plus runs each in the competition. Hayward has also put on astounding performances with the ball, picking up 17 wickets. They will be without their trump card Meg Lanning, who is currently representing Delhi Capitals Women in the Women’s Premier League.
