Last season, first-innings scores here ranged from 64 to 164. The Sixers defended 164 here, with Gardner taking 3/31. Spinners also took eight wickets when the Thunder were bowled out for 64, including Alice Capsey with 2/12.

SS-W vs HH-W Toss Prediction
Toss Prediction: Bat first
Spinners usually control games at Drummoyne, and batting gets harder as the pitch wears. The Sixers defended 164 here last season, and the Thunder defended 153. Dew under lights could help the chasing side a little, but putting up a good total first looks like the smarter plan.
