Strategy For T20 WBBL Fantasy Players

Why Pacers Are Crucial at North Sydney:

The pitch at North Sydney Oval offers excellent assistance for fast bowlers, especially with the new ball. Here’s why you must pick quality pacers:

• New ball swing: High humidity (72%) will help swing movement
• Bounce and carry: Hard pitch provides good bounce for fast bowlers
• Wicket percentage: 68% of wickets fall to pace bowlers at this venue
• Powerplay impact: Fast bowlers dominate the first 6 overs

Must-Pick Pacers:

• Shabnim Ismail (7 wickets in last 5 matches)
• Courtney Sippel (Consistent left-arm pacer)

Spinner Strategy:

While pace dominates, don’t ignore quality spinners who bowl middle overs:

• Sophie Ecclestone (6 wickets, economy 6.15) – World-class
• Ashleigh Gardner (11 wickets) – Off-spin all-rounder
• Erin Burns (Leg-spin option) – Budget pick

Batting Selection:

• Top-order focus: Pick 3-4 batters who bat positions 1-4
• Strike rotation: Players with 115+ strike rate are valuable
• Form over reputation: Dunkley (165 runs) > bigger names in poor form

All-Rounder Value:

All-rounders are fantasy gold in T20 cricket:
