But it is her defensive game that contained by the Cobras, otherwise Karatiana will impact the Cobras chances the most as she will dominate and once again guide the Braves will need to limit the Braves frontcourt of Gabe to victory. Richards and Nadeen Payne.

OVERALL The loss of talented scorer Steph Blicavs for this weeks’ contest will hurt the Cobras, but coach Sam Woosnam has the luxury of having multiple players with the ability to step up and cover the scoring load. Youngsters Chelsea D’Angelo and Taylor Lee will need to be at their best against the league’s best point guard in Kelly Wilson, who is in scintillating form. Her efforts will need to be contained if the Cobras are to secure the win. Bendigo have a wealth of experience in their line-up and wealth of talent that will be hard to beat.

GO TORNS!! OVERALL Launceston have surprised a lot of people this season, and have done so with Australian Opal Lauren Mansfield only playing eight games this season. Mansfield will be out of this weekends’ game due to Australian Opals Camp, but the Tornadoes have showed they can win without her numerous times this season already. Ellie Collins has had a standout season and has scored 25+ points on four occasions and could be the key player that guides Launceston to the win. Nunawading forward Marena Whittle will have other ideas as she is playing exceptional and will be determined to guide her team to their first Championship game in nearly 10 years.
