The Adelaide Strikers will host the Brisbane Heat at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night in the Grand Final of the WBBL/09 season.
Adelaide dominated the minor rounds to finish well clear at the top of the table to qualify for the final. Third placed Brisbane beat the Sydney Thunder on Tuesday in an elimination final before facing up to the Perth Scorchers in the challenger final last night. Brisbane compiled the highest score in a finals match, 5/197, before restricting the Scorchers to just 8/130.
Adelaide will deservedly start as favourites but are being quoted at a very modest $1.80 compared to Brisbane’s $2.00 – a case of season dominance v finals form perhaps?
Either way, it should be a great game to light up the beautiful Adelaide Oval. Channel 7 will televise the game live along with other streaming services. The match begins at 7.10pm AEDT.
