ST-W vs BH-W Match Preview

Sydney Thunder Women host Brisbane Heat Women at Drummoyne Oval in the 6th match of WBBL 2026. For this ST-W vs BH-W match prediction, the Thunder start as clear favourites.

The Thunder won their opening game of the season and have three wins in a row. They also beat the Heat in both meetings last season. Georgia Voll has 14 wickets in her last 10 games and opens the batting too.

The Heat lost their opener to the Sixers and have now lost four completed games in a row. Their batting is the big worry, with captain Georgia Redmayne the top scorer on just 212 runs.

Fantasy Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

For Fantasy Team 1

Phoebe Litchfield (Captain):

She has 269 runs in her last 10 games at a strike rate of 140.83, the best of anyone here. She opens the batting and captains the Thunder, so she should face plenty of balls.

Georgia Voll (Vice-Captain):

She has 14 wickets in her last 10 games and opens the batting too. She earns points with both bat and ball, which makes her a very safe pick.

For Fantasy Team 2

Sarah Glenn (Captain):

She has 7 wickets in her last 3 games and took 4/18 against the Thunder at this ground last season. Most people will pick a Thunder player as captain, so Glenn gives you a real edge if the pitch helps spin again.

Heather Knight (Vice-Captain):

She has 191 runs in her last 10 games at an average of 31.83. She plays spin well, which matters a lot at Drummoyne, and very few people will pick her as vice-captain.

ST-W vs BH-W Toss Prediction

Toss Prediction: Bat first

Spinners have controlled games at Drummoyne, and batting gets harder as the pitch wears. Totals of 153 and 164 were defended here last season. The Thunder did chase 150 easily once, so this isn’t a big edge, but putting runs on the board first looks smarter.

Sydney Thunder Women vs Brisbane Heat Women Today Match Prediction

Prediction: Sydney Thunder Women to Win

The Thunder have won three games in a row and beat the Heat twice last season. Litchfield and Voll give them a strong start, and they have more batting depth with Knight and de Klerk.

The Heat have Sarah Glenn in great form, and she has already troubled the Thunder at this ground. But Brisbane’s batting has struggled a lot, and the Thunder should win this comfortably at home.
