Match Details:
Match 12 of the Women’s National Cricket League 2020-21 will see Tasmania Women lock horns with New South Wales Breakers Women at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
The match is scheduled to start at 4:30 AM IST (10:00 AM local time).
Preview:
Tasmania Women have won all their four matches they played so far in this tournament. They are currently placed 2nd in the points table with 17 points and having a net run-rate of 0.619. They held their nerve in their previous match against Western Fury and won the game by one run. With a quality bowling attack, they have picked up 36 wickets which is one main reason for their winning streak in the ongoing edition of the league.
New South Wales Breakers, on the other hand, have failed to get going in their last couple of games despite having star players in their line-up. The Alyssa Healy-led side lost two back-to-back matches against the Victoria Women, after being outplayed in every aspect of the game.
Bowlers are under the scanner and will need to come up with some plans since they have leaked plenty of runs in the first two games. With no wins thus far, the club is languishing at the bottom of the points table.
