MR-W vs MS-W Team Previews
Melbourne Renegades Women
The Renegades Women have had a mixed campaign so far, winning four of their seven matches and losing three. With eight points and a net run rate of +0.570, they currently sit third on the points table.
Despite their solid standing, they face a psychological hurdle against the Stars, having lost their last encounter in this year’s WBBL by four wickets. However, they will draw confidence from their overall recent form, which includes three consecutive wins leading up to this match.
Courtney Webb has been the standout performer with the bat, amassing 263 runs in her last ten innings at an average of 29.22. All-rounder Georgia Wareham has been equally effective, contributing 185 runs at a strike rate of 146.82 while also claiming 13 wickets in her last seven outings.

MR-W vs MS-W Toss Prediction
The Junction Oval is a historic venue for women's cricket, hosting over 50 domestic T20s. Statistics suggest that chasing teams have enjoyed more success here. Therefore, the captain winning the toss is highly likely to elect to field first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Contrary to some expectations, the Junction Oval surface is traditionally bowling-friendly and often produces low-scoring affairs. Fast bowlers can expect early assistance, but batting conditions tend to improve as the match progresses. The forecast predicts partly sunny weather with temperatures around 19°C, ensuring a full game without interruptions.
MR-W vs MS-W: Who Will Win?
Both teams have fought hard to reach the upper echelons of the points table, sitting 2nd and 3rd respectively. While the Renegades have dominated recent head-to-head meetings, the Stars have been the more consistent side throughout the 2025 season. Expect a tightly contested derby, but the Stars' current momentum makes them the safer bet.
Bet on Melbourne Stars Women to win.
