WBBL 2025 Match 18: BH-W vs ST-W head-to-head, pitch report & predicted playing XIs
Brisbane Heat Women face Sydney Thunder Women in WBBL 2025 Match 18, with both teams desperate for points after slow starts to their season.
The Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 is moving ahead with Match No. 17, where Brisbane Heat Women (BH-W) will face Sydney Thunder Women (ST-W) on Friday, November 21 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Both teams are searching for consistency after slow starts to their season.
The Brisbane Heat Women, led by Jess Jonassen, have struggled so far. They have played three matches and lost all three. The team will be eager to get their first win of the season and turn things around, especially playing at home. Brisbane defeated Sydney in last year’s Challenger match at this same venue, which may give them some confidence heading into this contest.
Sydney Thunder Women have also had a tough time in the tournament. They have played four matches, winning only one and losing the other three. However, they finally broke their losing streak in their previous match with a strong nine-wicket win over the Perth Scorchers Women. Phoebe Litchfield’s team will hope to build on that momentum and climb up the points table.
