Women's Big Bash League: Thunder vs Strikers preview 

The Women's Big Bash League has gotten off to an average start for last season's runners-up, Adelaide Strikers. The Strikers got off to a good start, winning their first game against the Hobart Hurricanes with ease. Darcie Brown and Amanda-jade Wellington were the standout bowlers, taking three wickets each to clean up Hobart to a mere 84 runs. Laura Wolvaardt made light work of the chase, scoring 51 to put her team on the board.

However, the Strikers lost their next match to the Sydney Sixers. In a truncated, 9-over innings, the Strikers made 68 runs. This was revised to 46 for the Sixers to chase in 6 overs by the D/L method. The Sixers won by 9 wickets.

This puts the Adelaide Strikers in third place with two points. Meanwhile, it has been an agonizing couple of days for Sydney Thunder, who have had both their fixtures abandoned due to inclement weather. They were 13/2 after 4 overs in their last game against Melbourne but the match was abandoned. Lucky for them, they still got a point in each of those games, putting them just below Adelaide in the standings.
