The Hurricanes enter the contest with strong momentum, having secured six wins from their first eight matches.

Meg Lanning has led their charge with the bat, amassing 301 runs in just five innings to sit comfortably as the leading run-scorer of WBBL|11.

Bellerive Oval Pitch Report

The Bellerive Oval pitch typically offers a solid batting track, beginning with some help for seamers thanks to the new ball before settling into a more batter-friendly surface as the match unfolds. Pacers can extract early movement, though spinners generally play a smaller role, with the wicket eventually slowing into a balanced, predictable strip that gradually tilts in favour of the batters.
