Probable Playing XI:

Sydney Sixers:

Skipper Ellyse Perry and the dangerous Alyssa Healy are superstars capable of single-handedly winning the game for their side. Alongside such experienced campaigners, they also possess a few exciting young talents in the form of Maddy Drake and 16-year-old Hayley Silver-Homes. Marizanne Kapp is one to watch out for in the bowling department.

Ellyse Perry (c), Alyssa Healy, Ashleigh Gardner, Erin Burns, Dane van Niekerk, Jodie Hicks/Maddy Darke, Marizanne Kapp, Lauren Smith, Sarah Aley, Hayley Silver-Holmes, Lauren Cheatle.

Sydney Thunder:

The Thunders will miss the services of Harmanpreet Kaur, who won’t feature in this year’s competition due to her international commitments. In her absence, Rachel Haynes will be expected to lead the way in the batting unit whereas Shabnim Ismail will spearhead the pace attack. Hannah Darlington will have to play a crucial role with both bat and bowl.

Rachael Haynes, Rachel Priest, Naomi Stalenberg, Alex Blackwell, Nida Dar, Hannah Darlington, Rachel Trenaman, Rene Farrell, Lisa Griffith, Samantha Bates, Shabnim Ismail.

Top Picks:

Alyssa Healy is a must-have in your Dream11 Team. She scored a breathtaking, record-breaking 148 against Sri-Lanka in a T20I before plundering another century in the ODIs. Rachel Haynes also needs to be picked on the back of an excellent series against the Lankans in which she notched her maiden international century. Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner are other advisable additions whereas Healy should be made the captain due to the aforementioned reasons.
