Betting Tips

Highest opening partnership - Adelaide Strikers W

1.80

The opening pair of Smriti Mandhana and Katie Mack has done well in the last week and has put up 3 partnerships of 50+ runs in the previous 4 games. In the same period, the highest opening partnership for Melbourne Stars was 31. We are therefore expecting the Strikers to put up the bigger partnership here.

Megan Schutt to be the best bowler for Adelaide Strikers

4.50

Megan Schutt is the leading wicket-taker for Adelaide this season and was the top bowler for the team in 2 of the last 3 matches. She also has an excellent record against Melbourne Stars and has picked up 19 wickets against them at an average of 20.73.

The Melbourne Stars will host the Adelaide Strikers in a dead rubber on Sunday. The loser of this match will most probably end up at the bottom of the table.

The two teams have faced each other in 18 matches to date, with both teams winning 9 games each.

MSW vs ASW Team Previews

Melbourne Stars Women

The Melbourne Stars is easily the worst-performing team this season and has managed to win only 2 of the 9 games it has played. The team is coming into this contest on the back of 6 consecutive losses and is last on the table.

It has been an all-round failure for the team as it has neither impressed with the bat nor with the ball. Annabel Sutherland and Rhys McKenna have struggled against the new ball and have been unable to give the team a stable start.

The middle order has some seasoned batters including Meg Lanning, Deepti Sharma, and Marizanne Kapp but they too have failed to convert their starts into big innings. In the bowling department, Kim Garth has had a couple of good games and has picked up 10 wickets, making her the leading wicket-taker for the team.

She has received decent support from Kapp and Sutherland, who have 16 wickets among themselves. The spinners haven’t been lucky enough with only Sophie Day managing to bowl decent spells.

Melbourne Stars Women Expected Playing 11

  • Sophie Reid (WK)
  • Annabel Sutherland (C)
  • Meg Lanning
  • Marizanne Kapp
  • Tess Flintoff
  • Deepti Sharma
  • Rhys McKenna
  • Ines Mckeon
  • Kim Garth
  • Maisy Gibson
  • Sophie Day

Adelaide Strikers Women

The Adelaide Strikers had won back-to-back titles before this season and began as one of the favorites to lift the trophy again. However, they have appeared a shadow of what they were in the previous two seasons and are already eliminated from the race to the playoffs.

The team also has the worst NRR among all teams. On a positive note, the Strikers are coming into this match on the back of consecutive wins and will be feeling slightly confident to end their campaign on a high.

The Strikers boast of one of the strongest batting line-ups in the league but it has failed to fire this year. That said, it has performed well in the last two games and they will expect to do the same here as well. Smriti Mandhana and Katie Mack will open the batting here and try and score maximum runs during the PowerPlay.

Tahlia McGrath, Laura Wolvaardt, and Bridget Patterson make up a strong middle order while all-rounders Madeline Penna and Orla Prendergast add depth to the batting. The Strikers’ bowlers have done a better job.

Megan Schutt is the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets and has received good support from Amanda-Jade Wellington and Anesu Mushangwe, both of whom are quality spinners.

Melbourne Stars Women Expected Playing 11

  • Smriti Mandhana
  • Katie Mack
  • Laura Wolvaardt
  • Tahlia McGrath (C)
  • Bridgette Patterson (WK)
  • Orla Prendergast
  • Madeline Penna
  • Megan Schutt
  • Amanda-Jade Wellington
  • Anesu Mushangwe
  • Jemma Barsby

MSW vs ASW Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Junction Oval usually favors the bowlers. The average first-inning score here this season is around 145. The surface is flat and hard offering a good amount of pace and bounce. The spinners will also get some turn as the ball gets softer and older.

That said, batters who choose their shots wisely can score some runs.

The weather is likely to be overcast and we may see some rain interrupting the game.

MSW vs ASW Betting Tips

Both teams have played below par this season and will hope to end their campaign on a high. Looking at the last couple of matches, we feel that the Adelaide Strikers have a slight edge in this contest.

Bet on Adelaide Strikers W to win.
