Preview:
Victoria Women and South Australian Scorpions Women will square off against each other in the 11th match of the Women’s National Cricket League 2020-21 on Tuesday. After beating ACT Meteors convincingly by 155 runs in their previous match, Victoria Women are placed at second place in the table with 12 points. They are showing complete professional performances and have not given any kind of chance to dominate them. Elyse Villani and skipper Meg Lanning have already gone past the 200-run mark and they likely to continue the same form for the rest of the tournament.
On the other hand, having lost their first match to table-toppers Tasmania Women, South Australian Scorpions Women then found their form and won 2 straight matches on the trot, which made them move up in the points table to third spot. They bowled out the opposition on both occasions by not conceding too many runs. They look to extend their winning performances as they take on the tournament favourites Victoria Women.
VCT-W vs SAU-W Weather Report for Match 11:
It’s going to be partly cloudy in Sydney with the temperature ranging between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius and the humidity will be 64 percent. The chance of precipitation for this match is less.
Pitch Condition/Report:
It is a good fresh wicket. The batsmen can expect true bounce out of the surface and can play the shots on the rise once they settle in, and there is something for the bowlers as well if they hit the deck hard. The team batting first has put up a good score in the last game. Considering this, whoever wins the toss should bat first.
