Taylor has been in fine form with the ball this season, with her off breaks garnering 10 wickets at 14.30 to lead the way for the Thunder.
She is hoping the two matches in Wagga can kick start the rest of her season with the bat.
“I’m not as happy as I would like, but there are some positives,” Taylor said.
“My bowling is going very well and hopefully these remaining games I can definitely come out.”
Taylor has scored 80 runs at 16.00 this season, down from her two previous seasons with the Thunder.
However with Robertson Oval’s wicket predicted to suit batting, the conditions should be ideal.
Taylor is one of a plethora of international stars who will have to adapt to the hot conditions offered in Wagga.
It may be very different to her native Jamaica, but the 26-year-old is looking to come in with a simple approach.
“We just have to hydrate and hydrate well,” she said.
“I think we have been doing that so far.
“It is not anything different, it is just the heat and it is part of the game so as a side we just have to go out an play some cricket.”
She’s also looking forward to bring the WBBL to a smaller centre like Wagga.
“I think it is good to take it to a smaller community, to the countryside for people to come out and support women’s cricket,” Taylor said.
