Victoria Women and Queensland Fire will square off in the grand finale of the Women’s National Cricket League at the CitiPower Center on Saturday.
Victoria Women finished the Women’s National Cricket League group stage as table toppers with six wins from eight games. However, they will miss several key players such as Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux, Georgia Wareham, Tayla Vlaeminck and Molly Strano, who are all unavailable due to national duties. Victoria Women will also be without Annabel Sutherland, who has been ruled out of the game due to an injury.
Queensland Fire, on the other hand, will head into the Women’s National Cricket League final after finishing second in the standings with four wins from eight. Skipper Georgia Redmayne has been in red-hot form and is one of the batters to watch out for.
Queensland will be aiming to stage an upset, knowing that Victoria are without as many as six first-choice players.
