WBBL is up and running and we have already witnessed some great performances. The defending champions Brisbane Heat will take on the Melbourne Renegades in the 6th game of this year’s WBBL.
Brisbane Heat started their 2020 campaign with a dominating 7 wicket-win over the Perth Scorchers. Their bowlers did a great job against a strong Scorchers batting order. Delissa Kimmince and Nicola Hancock picked 2 wickets each, while Amelia Kerr picked one. They chased down the 132 runs very easily with Grace Harris scoring a brilliant fifty off 37 balls with great support from Georgia Redmayne and skipper Jess Jonassen.
Melbourne Renegades’ first game washed out due to rain. They did well with the bowl before the rain interruption, restricting the Stars to 127/4 after 17. Carley Leeson picked 2 wickets while Courtney Neale and Sophie Molineux picked one wicket each. They looked good in the bowling department and it will be exciting to see how their batters perform against the Heat.

Hurstville Oval Pitch and Weather Report
Hurstville Oval witnessed a bowler’s friendly wicket in the first game as Hobart Hurricanes got all-out for only 84 against the Adelaide Strikers.
The ball was swinging and the pitch supports the pacers more than the spinners but both have been effective here. You can score runs if you bat well. However, there is some rain forecast and can force interruptions.
