Match Preview

The Phillip Oval in Canberra will be the venue for this fixture. It is the second game for Tasmania while South Australia will be playing their first game of the season.

South Australia didn’t have the greatest of seasons last time around.

In the 2019-20 season of the Women’s National Cricket League, they ended up with the wooden spoon as they could muster just one win from eight games.

The Megan Schutt-led side will want to turn things around in this season and start off well.

On the other hand, Tasmania Women started off this tournament on a positive note. They beat Australian Capital Territory Women by 20 runs as they defended 227 really well.

Nicola Carey carried the batting line-up with a fine 105 but none of the others chipped in.

However, the bowling came to the party and produced a collective effort. The Sasha Moloney-led side will be looking to continue the good run.
