MR-W vs SS-W Betting Tips
Total runs in the highest scoring over of the match Under 17.5
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval isn’t the easiest to bat on. The average score here in domestic WT20s is 124. There is plenty of help for the bowlers, especially the seamers and the batters will find it difficult to get after the bowlers.
Highest individual score Under 58.5
As mentioned earlier, the batters will not have it easy at the Adelaide Oval. No batter has been able to score 59 or more runs on this ground in WBBL since the 2021 season. Also, since this will be the first match of the season here, we are unlikely to see a big individual score.

MRW vs SSW Team Previews
Melbourne Renegades Women
The Melbourne Renegades endured a terrible run in the last season as they managed to win only 2 of the 14 matches they played. As a result, the team finished at the bottom of the points table. As they begin a fresh campaign, the Renegades will hope to make a winning start.
The Renegades have made quite a few changes to the squad in a bid to improve its chances. They have shed some high-profile names in the process, including Harmanpreet Kaur, Tammy Beaumont, and Erica Kershaw. Sophie Molineux, who missed the previous season due to an injury, is back in the squad.
She is one of the best T20 bowlers at the moment and brings a wealth of experience. The batting has been further fortified with the inclusion of Hayley Matthews, Deandra Dottin, and Alice Capsey. They will join the all-rounders Georgia Wareham, Sarah Coyte, and Courtney Webb.
The pace attack has received a bit of a setback as Tyla Vlaeminck is set to miss out due to an injury. This leaves Georgia Prestwidge and Milly Illingworth as the first-choice seamers.
Melbourne Renegades Women Expected Playing 11
- Hayley Matthews
- Emma de Broughe
- Alice Capsey
- Sophie Molineux (C)
- Deandra Dottin

- Nicole Faltum (WK)

Sydney Sixers Women
The Sydney Sixers are among the most successful teams in WBBL, having won the title twice. However, in the last season, the team managed to win only half of its games.
The biggest change for the Sixers this season is the inclusion of Amelia Kerr. However, she will be unavailable in this match due to international commitments. The squad will also include Hollie Armitage, who is an all-rounder and will join ranks with Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, and Erin Burns.
Alyssa Healy will be seen behind the stumps provided she has recovered from the injury picked up during the World Cup. Sophie Ecclestone will headline the spin attack for the Sixers in this match.
The team has bet heavily on pacers and has included bowlers like Lauren Cheatle, Courtney Sippel, and Mathilda Carmichael.

MRW vs SSW Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval is well-balanced and we can expect a close contest between the bat and the ball. There is plenty of pace and bounce on offer and an even covering of grass will help the seamers get some movement, especially with the new ball.
The average first-inning score here is around 125.
Weather in Adelaide is likely to be clear with temperatures of under 20 degrees.
