PERW vs MLRW 22nd Match Prediction

PERW vs MLRW Team Previews

Perth Scorchers Women

The Perth Scorchers have been rather inconsistent this season and have alternated between wins and losses. With 3 wins from 5 matches, the team is currently 4th on the points table.

The veterans, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine are in fine form for the Scorchers and the team will rely on them to get to a big total. Mooney is the top-scorer for them with 161 runs. She has scored 2 half-centuries in her last 4 outings and will once again look to give the Scorchers a strong start alongside Chloe Piparo.

With Lauren Winfield-Hill departing early due to an injury, there will be added scoring pressure on the middle-order batters. Amy Edgar and Alana King bowled a brilliant spell in the last match, picking up 6 wickets between them.

Chloe Ainsworth is pretty consistent with the new ball and has picked up at least one wicket in each of her 4 outings. 

Melbourne Renegades Women

The Renegades have managed to win just 1 of the 5 matches they have played so far. They are coming into this contest on the back of 3 consecutive losses and will be eager to turn things around.

Despite having some of the best talent in women’s cricket, the Renegades have struggled to get the desired results. Hayley Matthews, who is arguably one of the best all-rounders in the shortest format, has scored just 63 runs in 5 innings.

Similarly, Harmanpreet Kaur and Courtney Webb have scored just 106 and 105 runs respectively. Tammy Beaumont has been the most consistent batter, scoring 167 runs at an average of 33.40. Georgia Wareham will be a vital cog in the middle order and the team will need a big inning from her.

Wareham and Matthews are the leading wicket-takers with 8 wickets each. The seamers have struggled to find a good rhythm with Sarah Coyte and Georgia Prestwidge managing to pick just 7 wickets between them.
