Facing Hobart Hurricanes in Match 10 of Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025, Brisbane Heat will place their hopes on three standout players: Chinelle Henry, Grace Harris, and Lucy Hamilton. Each of them brings a unique flair to the Heat, and if they perform at their best together, the Heat will finally have their first win this season.
Top 3: Brisbane Heat Players to Watch Out Against Hobart Hurricanes
Chinelle Henry
The West Indian all-rounder comes with considerable experience, having played 65 T20 Internationals and racked up 522 runs from 56 innings. This season marks her WBBL debut, where she’s played just two matches but has already scored 68 runs at an impressive strike rate of 151.11. Her true value lies in her power and capacity to shift the game’s momentum, whether through quick-fire innings or by taking key wickets. In this match, she may be unleashed either as a middle-order aggressor or potentially as an unexpected bowling option. If she can make a significant impact, say with a quick-fire 30-40 runs at a strike rate of 130+ or by claiming 2-3 crucial wickets, she could be a transformative presence.
Grace Harris
Grace Harris stands out as one of the most formidable assets within the Heat’s lineup. Over the course of 132 WBBL matches, she has amassed 2900 runs with a strike rate of 130.80, which includes three centuries and 13 half-centuries. Her ability to bowl hasn’t gone unnoticed either, with 66 wickets and a personal best of 4/15. In the last match, she scored 46 runs, signaling a return to form. When she’s on her game, Harris possesses the ability to turn a match around in a matter of overs. Her role for this fixture is straightforward: either provide a solid start with the bat or stabilize the innings after a disruption. Should the need arise, she can also bowl a few overs to fill in any gaps.
Lucy Hamilton
As one of the younger talents in the squad, Lucy Hamilton is an exciting player for the Heat and has the potential to change the course of a game. She has taken 15 wickets in 14 WBBL matches, boasting an average of 16.46 and an economy rate of 6.50. One of her standout achievements is a record-breaking 5/8, which makes her the youngest player to secure a five-wicket haul in WBBL history. This capability positions her not just as a support bowler but as a genuine strike option for the Heat. For this match, expect Hamilton to either come into play early with the new ball or be used as a strategic change to disrupt key partnerships.
Match 10 between Hobart Hurricanes Women and Brisbane Heat Women is shaping up to be an exhilarating showdown between experience and youthful vigour, strategy and speed, consolidation and aggression. The Hurricanes’ trio of Wyatt, Hodge, Smith, and Carey bring balance and versatility, while the Heat’s Henry, Harris, and Hamilton promise power and excitement, a compelling blend.
