Ellyse Perry was in sublime touch in the last game, hitting 86 from 62 balls. She is also averaging 59.88 in her last ten games with a top strike rate of 145.15.
This slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler has picked up 25 wickets in the WBBL. She has an excellent record in domestic T20 competitions, so you can bet on her to emerge as the top bowler for the contest.
This is a batting-friendly track; therefore, the batters might opt for aerial shots early in the innings. So, the first wicket of the first innings is likely to be caught.
In the 18th game of the WBBL for the 2024 season, Sydney Sixers Women will take on Melbourne Stars Women on 8 November 2024. This day game will be played at the Junction Oval in Melbourne. Let's examine this encounter's match prediction, betting tips, and pitch report.
Melbourne Stars Women have played against each other on 19 occasions in the WBBL before this game. Both teams have a nigh identical record, with Stars holding a slight 10-9 edge in these encounters. Melbourne Women won the last match between the two sides earlier in this year's league.
This game and all the WBBL 2024 will be aired on TV in India on Star Sports channels. This game between Melbourne Stars Women and Sydney Sixers Women can also be viewed on Disney+Hotstar through live streaming.
Melbourne Stars Women have won two of their last three games played earlier in the competition. They are going into this game with a two-game winning streak. They have four points and a net run rate of +0.775.
Melbourne Stars are currently lying in second position in the points table. They also beat this opposition earlier in the competition by a margin of 32 runs in a rain-curtailed match. In their last game of the series, Melbourne beat Hobart Hurricanes by a margin of seven wickets.
Melbourne Stars opening bowlers Marizanne Kapp and Kim Garth were in good form in their last encounter, picking up two wickets each. These two, together with skipper Annabel Sutherland, form the core of the Melbourne Stars bowling attack.
Meg Lanning and skipper Sutherland will provide the batting impetus for the Melbourne Stars. Although she did not do well in the last game, Meg Lanning has been scoring runs with an average of 41.4 in her last seven games.
Sydney Sixers Women have not had a perfect competition so far. They have played four games and won two while going down in two. They are languishing in the second-last position in the points table and have a low net run rate of -0.407.
However, they did win the last game they played against Hobart Hurricanes by a slender margin of six runs. Ellyse Perry stood out for Sydney Sixers in this game, scoring 86 runs from 62 balls. She also held on to a couple of catches.
Hollie Armitage and Ashleigh Gardner also did a reasonable job in the last game for Sydney Sixers, scoring 30 and 21 runs, respectively. The top bowlers for Sydney in this contest were Lauren Cheatle, Caoimhe Bray, and Sophie Ecclestone.
The Sydney team will look to Ashleigh Gardner to contribute with the bat in this contest. She has been reasonably consistent with the bat and scored a few runs in the last game. The Sydney team will look to Ashley Gardner and Ellyse Perry to pick up crucial breakthroughs.
We have seen as many as 43 domestic T20 games played at the venue of Junction Oval in Melbourne. The teams batting first have won 23 games, while the teams chasing a target have won twenty. This shows a slight edge for the team batting first. So, we expect the skipper winning the coin flip to opt to bat first.
The weather conditions at Junction Oval in Melbourne will be sunny, with occasional cloud cover during the contest. The temperature during the game will be close to 19 degrees. The surface at Junction Oval will be friendly to batters. To feel safe on this track, you can expect the team batting first to score close to 140 runs.
There is quite a bit of a gap between the positions of Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers. However, most of the teams in the league stage are currently on four points. So, this gap is mainly due to the net run rate. But Melbourne Stars have played just three games compared to four games played by Sydney Sixers. The Melbourne women's outfit is also playing at home. That is also an advantage. They have won four out of their last five games. So, we reckon Melbourne Stars will start as favorites to win the encounter.
Bet on Melbourne Stars to win.
