MS-W vs AS-W Betting Tips
Total runs for Adelaide Strikers Women in the first over to be over 4.5 runs
The Strikers’ openers are in strong form, often starting aggressively in the powerplay. Adelaide scored 11 runs in the opening over during their last meeting with the Stars earlier in the season, and their positive intent makes this bet an appealing option.
No player to score a 50 in the first innings
Adelaide tends to play as a cohesive unit rather than relying on big individual scores. In their most recent clash, no batter from either team reached a half-century. Conditions at Junction Oval could again favor bowlers early on, making this bet a fair choice.

MS-W vs AS-W Team Previews
Melbourne Stars
The Stars continue to struggle with batting depth and consistency. Although featuring elite players like Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, and Annabel Sutherland, the side has faltered whenever these key players fail to fire. The middle and lower orders remain a concern.
In the T20 Spring Challenge 2025, the Stars lost all four matches, highlighting their form issues. Their bowling attack, led by Kim Garth and Sophie Day, lacks penetration once the ball loses its shine.
These are not good signs for the Melbourne Stars Women heading into the WBBL season. Despite the obvious big names in their lineup, they could find the going very tough.
Melbourne Stars Expected Playing 11
Meg Lanning, Rhys McKenna, Ines McKeon, Amy Jones (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp, Ella Hayward (c), Georgia Prestwidge, Maisy Gibson, Sophie Day, Kim Garth

Adelaide Strikers
The defending champions enter this match in formidable form, boasting a balanced lineup combining experience and youth. Their spin trio of Amanda-Jade Wellington, Anesu Mushangwe, and Sophie Ecclestone (if available) provides immense control in the middle overs.
Opener Laura Wolvaardt, fresh from her superb international form, partners Katie Mack at the top. The leadership of Tahlia McGrath and the pace attack of Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown give Adelaide an edge across conditions.
We saw just how close Laura Wolvaardt came to taking her team to a World Cup win but fell short in the end. Her presense and some very talented Aussie players should come together to form a strong Strikers team.
Adelaide Strikers Expected Playing 11
Laura Wolvaardt, Katie Mack, Bridget Patterson (wk), Madeline Penna, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Tahlia McGrath (c), Jemma Barsby, Sophie Ecclestone, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown, Anesu Mushangwe
MS-W vs AS-W Toss Prediction
Both teams may prefer to bowl first, considering the last two completed encounters at Junction Oval were won by chasing sides.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
unction Oval typically offers good pace and bounce, rewarding batters who spend time at the crease. The pitch may assist seamers early, especially in overcast conditions. Scoring should become easier in the second innings.
Melbourne posted 133/6 in their previous WBBL match at this venue against Adelaide. Rain is only a minor threat, with a 3% forecast chance. Expect cool, cloudy weather around 17°C.
MS-W vs AS-W: Who Will Win?
Adelaide Strikers Women will play with a lot of courage and fire in their bellies, ready to take points off the Stars Women. The team’s strength will be its opening partnerships with the bat and the ball. Adelaide will cause damage early in both innings to set themselves up for what should be points in their pocket this match.
Bet on Adelaide Strikers to win.
