Adelaide City vs Avondale - Australian Championship

Adelaide City's recent form is difficult to quantify, but the occasion itself should bring the best out of them. Avondale will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. It’s safe to say that Paige Bueckers is putting up elite all-around numbers in her second WNBA season for the Dallas Wings, averaging over 20 points and nearly six assists a night.
