MER vs SYT Prediction, 11 Watt Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Updates - WBBL 2020, Match 22

Match Details:

The 22nd match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 will be played at the Hurstville Oval in Sydney between Melbourne Renegades Women and Sydney Thunder Women.

The match is scheduled to begin at 02:30 pm local time (09:00 AM IST) and will be streamed live on Sony Six and Sony Six HD.

Preview:

Parity will not perform at Hurstville Oval on Saturday. On one side will be the Melbourne Renegades, who will try to forget everything that has happened so far in the sixth edition of the Women’s Big Bash League. Their first two matches were abandoned, while the next three ended in defeat.

Against them will be Sydney Thunder, who are on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. Like the Renegades, he also washed his early couple out of the game. But it has been an unprecedented show ever since, as they defeated their next 3 opponents – Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat and Perth Scorchers. They are sitting on top of the table.
