Match Details:
The 20th match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 will be played between Brisbane Heat Women and the Sydney Sixers Women at the Blacktown International Sportspark in Sydney.
This match is scheduled to start at 07:05 PM Local Time (01:35 PM IST) and it will be streamed live on Sony Six and Sony Six HD.
Preview:
Given the star-studded team they have, Sydney Sixers were rightfully called the title-favourites before the start to the tournament. From what we have seen so far, they have lived up to their tag. Sixers, like almost every team in this competition, saw 2 of their games get washed out.
However, they were very dominant in the two completed games that they played, against Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades. Their opposition Brisbane Heat started their campaign on a great note, beating Perth Scorchers in the first game. However, that was followed by 2 abandoned games and a horrific outing against Sydney Thunder.
