Preview:
Victoria will take on New South Wales in the inaugural game of the Australia Women’s ODD 2021-22 on Friday. Victoria lost to Queensland in the finals last year by 112 runs. It’s been a long time since they have donned the colors in the 50 overs format and it’s a great opportunity to make it count this year.
New South Wales, on the other hand, didn’t make it to the finals last year as they finished 5th in the standings. It’s a brand-new season and they are all excited to kick off their journey with a win. Wicketkeeper batter Alyssa Healy will lead the side. Both sides have got some big names in their line-ups, and we can expect a good contest between them.
