Preview:
Southern Australia Scorpions Women are locking horns against the New South Wales Breakers Women in match 15 of the Women’s National Cricket League. It has been an average season so far for the Southern Australia Women, but they have won enough games to sit at the top three in the points table. They have two wins in four games and both the defeats came against the table-toppers. They will be seeking redemption this time to retain their 3rd spot in the points table.
On the other side, New South Wales Women had a slow start in their campaign with two consecutive defeats against Victoria. They have got some world-famous names in the squad, but they are yet to bring out their A-game. Rachael Haynes scored a century in the last match which must have boosted their confidence, and she would like to keep up the momentum and to get her team their first win of this season.
