The Renegades’ opening pair has been quite consistent, scoring at least 19 runs in 5 of their last 8 matches. As the bowling from the Stars hasn’t been the best, we are backing the Renegades to put up another good partnership.
Webb is the leading run-scorer for the Renegades this season and has scored a total of 203 runs at an average of 33.83. She has scored at least 16 runs in 5 of her last 7 outings and is likely to do so again in this match.
The Melbourne Stars will seek revenge on Friday as they take on the Renegades for the second time this season at the iconic MCG in Melbourne.
The two teams have faced each other in 18 matches to date, with both teams winning 9 matches each.
This game and the WBBL competition for the 2024 season will be aired in India on Star Sports channels. The game will also be live-streamed on the Disney+Hotstar app and site.
The Stars will be pretty disappointed with the way they performed so far. With just 2 wins in 5 games, they are placed 7th on the table. While they have played the least number of games compared to other teams, the Stars will have to win here to improve their qualification chances.
Much will depend on the opening pair of Yastika Bhatia and Ines Mckeon. The duo has given the team a couple of good starts but they need to come up with something special here. The Melbourne Stars have 3 of the best all-rounders in the form of Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp, and Deepti Sharma.
While all of them are single-handedly capable of turning the match around, they are yet to show their full potential. The bowling has been pretty average as well. Kim Garth and Sophie Day are the leading wicket-takers for the team with 6 wickets each while Tess Flintoff has managed to scalp only 2.
The team needs to improve in all departments if they want to get back to winning ways.
The Renegades have a good momentum going for them. They have won 4 of their last 5 matches and are 3rd on the points table, trailing the top two in NRR.
The opening pair of Hayley Matthews and Courtney Webb is in red-hot form and are two of the highest run-getters for the team. Deandra Dottin, who comes in lower down the order is known for her aggressive batting and will play the role of the finisher.
Naomi Stalenberg, Nicole Faltum, and Georgia Wareham are dependable in the middle overs thanks to their solid batting. Alice Capsey has been brilliant with the ball picking up 13 wickets. She has been well-supported by Hayley Matthews and Georgia Wareham in the spin department.
The seamers haven’t had much of an impact as Deandra Dottin and Milly Illingworth have picked up only 4 wickets each.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at the MCG favors the quicker bowlers. There is a good amount of pace and carry and the new ball will swing quite a bit. The batters will have to settle down before they can start playing the big shots. Spinners will get limited help here and have to be disciplined with their line and length. A score of around 160 is a par score on this ground.
The weather is likely to be cloudy with temperatures remaining under 20 degrees.
The Melbourne Stars have struggled throughout the season. Despite having a strong squad, they have failed to perform on the ground. On the other hand, the Renegades have been clinical in their recent outings and are likely to win here.
Bet on Melbourne Renegades to win.
