Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
Drummoyne Oval hosted one completed WBBL|12 match before this game. Brisbane made 178/5 there on 1 November. Sydney Thunder chased it with 180/4 in 16.4 overs.
The sample size is one match. It is too small for a firm ground average. That game still shows that top-order batters can score quickly. All-rounders and bowlers with a clear role may also help because the match can move fast.
Do not treat the last result as a promise. Toss, surface and team selection can change the plan. There is no verified toss or weather report for this preview.
Head-to-Head
The last five listed meetings through 30 November 2025 show Adelaide winning two and Brisbane winning three. The two 2025 matches were Adelaide wins by scores of 151/4 against 149/9 and 170/4 against 169/5.
The older record is not current 2026 form. The 2026 preview uses the completed WBBL|12 scorecards above instead.

Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Laura Wolvaardt is a strong captain choice if she opens. She made 70 in Adelaide’s only completed WBBL|12 game. Tahlia McGrath offers both batting and bowling paths when selected.
Grace Harris and Georgia Redmayne are useful Brisbane options. Harris made 3 against the Sixers and 58 against the Thunder. Redmayne made 58 and 57. Amanda-Jade Wellington is a bowling-led choice after taking 3/28 in the Strikers’ win.
Captain and vice-captain choices are conditional. Confirm the XI and the app rules first.
Top 3 Player Battles
Laura Wolvaardt Vs The Heat New Ball
Wolvaardt made 70 in her first WBBL|12 game. The Heat need a good early plan against her timing. This is a conditional match-up, not a claim about a direct past duel.
Grace Harris Vs The Strikers Spin Group
Harris made 3 against the Sixers and 58 against the Thunder. Adelaide has Sophie Ecclestone and Amanda-Jade Wellington in its likely bowling group. Their contest may shape the middle overs if Harris bats then.
Georgia Redmayne Vs Adelaide’s Bowling Attack
Redmayne has scores of 58 and 57 this season. She gives Brisbane a steady start and can keep the chase moving. Adelaide will want early control against her.
