Fantasy Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

For Fantasy Team 1

Georgia Wareham (Captain):

She has 288 runs and 14 wickets in her last 10 games. She scores points with both bat and ball, so she stays valuable even if rain shortens the game.

Lizelle Lee (Vice-Captain):

She has 240 runs in her last 10 games at a strike rate of 154.83. She opens the batting and keeps wicket, so she has plenty of ways to earn points.

For Fantasy Team 2

Lizelle Lee (Captain):

She scores at a strike rate of 154.83, the fastest in this match. If rain shortens the game, a quick-scoring opener like her gains the most, and most people will pick Wareham as captain instead.

Heather Graham (Vice-Captain):

She has 14 wickets in her last 10 games and can also bat. Very few people will pick her as vice-captain, and she gives Hobart a wicket-taking option in the middle overs.

HH-W vs MR-W Toss Prediction

Toss Prediction: Bowl first

Chasing teams won three of the five games at Bellerive last season, and the pitch gets better for batting later on. Hobart also chased 189 here. With a 75% chance of rain, knowing the target in a shortened game is a big advantage.

Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women Prediction

Prediction: Hobart Hurricanes Women to Win

Hobart play at home, where they chased 189 and won last season’s final. Lizelle Lee can give them a fast start, and Graham and Strano have done well at this ground.

The Renegades have Georgia Wareham, who can win a game on her own, and big hitters like Matthews and Dottin. But home conditions and a better record in this matchup give Hobart a slight edge.
