Sydney Thunder Women
Smriti Mandhana and Tahlia Wilson will lead the batting unit of the Thunder Women, while skipper Hannah Darlington, alongside Isabelle Wong and Samantha Bates, will handle bowling duties. In the absence of quality backups, no changes are expected in their playing eleven.

Adelaide Strikers Women vs Sydney Thunder Women Prediction
Adelaide Strikers Women splendidly started their campaign with back-to-back wins. However, everything has gone south for them ever since. They are now on a 4-game losing run, and momentum is entirely against them.
Sydney Thunder Women, at the same time, have managed to revive themselves a bit after a terrible start. They have now won two of their last three matches and will feel confident of registering another victory.
Prediction: Sydney Thunder Women are expected to win this contest.
