The 1st Match of the Women’s Big Bash League is going to be held at the Ray Mitchell Oval, Harrup Park, Mackay. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 160 is going to be tough to chase.
