South Australia names unchanged WNCL squad for Adelaide Oval game South Australia has confirmed an unchanged 13-player squad for its crucial WNCL double-header against New South Wales at the Adelaide Oval. The team will face the league-leading NSW side on Thursday, March 12, followed by a second match on Saturday, March 14. Captain Jemma Barsby leads the squad, which has secured five of its last six matches. The only game missed in recent form was a washed-out encounter against the ACT Meteors. South Australia currently sits third on the WNCL ladder with six wins from ten games, trailing second-placed Queensland by a narrow margin in net run rate. Notable absentees from the squad include Australian stars Tahlia McGrath, Darcie Brown, and Megan Schutt, who are unavailable for selection. The 13-player squad includes Hollie Armitage, Emma de Broughe, Ellie Johnston, Eleanor Larosa, Isabella Malgioglio, Courtney Neale, Bridget Patterson, Maddie Penna, Kate Peterson, Courtney Webb, Amanda-Jade Wellington, and Ella Wilson. The first match against NSW is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, starting at 10am ACDT at the Adelaide Oval. The second game will take place on Saturday, March 14, at the same venue and time. Both matches will be broadcast live on Kayo Sports and cricket.com.au. The team’s preparation for the double-header highlights the competitive nature of the WNCL, with South Australia aiming to capitalize on its strong recent form to secure valuable points in the standings. The matches will test the squad’s resilience against a top-tier opponent, adding to the significance of the fixtures in the league’s mid-season phase.#south_australia #adelaide_oval #wncl #jemma_barsby #kayo_sports
