PERW vs MLRW Match Preview
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.
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.
Weather Report
The weather is likely to be warm and dry with temperatures hovering around the 30-degree mark.
Pitch Report
The pitch at WACA usually helps the seamers early on in the match and that is likely to be the case in this game too. There is plenty of pace and bounce on offer and the new ball will move when the seam hits the deck. However, as the ball gets softer, the batters will be able to play their shots.
Notable stats
Amy Edgar: Potential Captain Pick
Amy Edgar is a consistent performer with the ball in the WBBL. In her last 10 matches, she has picked up 13 wickets at a strike rate of 10.15.
