On the other hand, Scorchers suffered a defeat in their last fixture after winning back-to-back matches at the W.A.C.A.

BH W vs PS W Teams Preview
Brisbane Heat Preview
Jonassen will hope to make a comeback against the Scorchers & get the team back to winning terms. Their last few fixtures were not great as they lost two out of three matches. Though they bounce back from their batting collapse against Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat Women need to find consistency in their performances. In the batting order, their opening batsman, Grace Harris who scored a ton against Scorchers has looked out of touch.
Her form is crucial for a good start while the in-form batter Amelia Kerr will play a crucial role while batting at No 3. Kerr needs the support of others in the middle order if winning is on their mind. Mignon du Preez looked in fine touch in their last match against SYT Women scoring 61 off 37 balls at number 4. These two middle-order batters are key to Brisbane’s success. Batting all-rounder Charli Knott has shown promise at number 5 and should be one of the key players to watch out for in the finisher’s role. There haven’t been consistent wicket-takers in recent matches for Brisbane. They will hope for early wickets from Jess Jonasses and Amelia Kerr as getting breakthroughs & restricting opponents from scoring will be on their minds.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:
Grace Harris, Georgia Redmayne (wk), Amelia Kerr, Mignon du Preez, Charli Knott, Jess Jonassen (c), Georgia Voll, Bess Heath, Mikayla Hinkley, Nicola Hancock, Courtney Sippel
Perth Scorchers Preview
Scorchers have won four out of seven fixtures played so far. But each of their victory accompanied a loss which Captain Sophie will look ahead to change. Their batting order doesn’t look so effective as in two out of three matches, Scorchers ended by suffering a six-wicket loss against Strikers after scoring 165-7.
Their batting order bolsters big names such as Beth Mooney, Nat Sciver Brunt, Sophie Devine & Amy Jones. All of these are potential matchwinners who could lead the team to a competitive total. Mooney and Devine have scored a half-century each as Scorchers chased down the target of 172 runs against renegades. Brunt also looks promising with a half-century. The right-arm leg break bowler Alana King is handy with the bat in the lower order & can score crucial runs.
With the ball, Amy Edgar, Sophie Devine & Alana King will be key in the lineup. There comes some aid for bowlers at this venue & Devine will back the bowlers to get Scorchers on top of the game.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Chloe Piparo, Beth Mooney (wk), Maddy Darke, Sophie Devine (c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Amy Jones, Amy Louise Edgar, Pippa Cleary, Alana King, Stella Campbell, Chloe Ainsworth
