PS-W vs MS-W Betting Tips
Beth Mooney to score over 25.5 runs
Mooney is in rare touch, having amassed 231 runs across her last four WBBL innings with scores including 75 and 94 not out. Given her record in finals and her familiarity with the WACA's bounce, backing her to cross the 25-run mark is a solid play.
Perth Scorchers Women to hit the most sixes
With power hitters like Sophie Devine and the in-form Mooney, combined with the short square boundaries at the WACA, Perth has a structural advantage. The Stars' batting lineup, while technical, often relies more on placement than raw power compared to the Scorchers' top order.
Team form (Last 5 matches)
Perth Scorchers Women
Melbourne Stars Women
The Scorchers enter the Knockout in formidable form, anchored by a batting lineup that has peaked at the perfect time. With home-ground advantage at the WACA, they are the clear favorites. While the Stars scraped into the finals with a mixed bag of results, they rely heavily on individual brilliance from Annabel Sutherland and Meg Lanning.
However, their inconsistency against top-tier bowling attacks makes them the underdogs in this high-pressure contest.

PS-W vs MS-W Team Previews
Perth Scorchers Women
The Scorchers have looked like a well-oiled machine leading into the finals. Their batting relies heavily on the opening pair, but the middle order has stepped up when required. Beth Mooney is currently the most dangerous batter in the league, accumulating runs with ruthless efficiency.​
Captain Sophie Devine provides the X-factor with both bat and ball, while leg-spinner Alana King remains their primary wicket-taking threat in the middle overs.
The pace trio of Chloe Ainsworth, Freya Kemp, and Amy Edgar has been effective in containing runs during the powerplay.

Melbourne Stars Women
The Stars have fought hard to reach the Knockout, often relying on individual brilliance to get them over the line. Annabel Sutherland has been exceptional leading the side, contributing significantly with both bat and ball.
Meg Lanning remains a class act at the top, but her consistency has wavered slightly compared to her peak years.
The addition of overseas stars like Maia Bouchier and Danielle Gibson gives them depth, but their bowling attack, outside of Sutherland and Kim Garth, can be expensive under pressure.
Melbourne Stars Women Expected Playing 11
Meg Lanning, Rhys McKenna, Amy Jones (wk), Annabel Sutherland (c), Maia Bouchier, Danielle Gibson, Kim Garth, Sasha Moloney, Georgia Prestwidge, Maisy Gibson, Sophie Day.
PS-W vs MS-W Toss Prediction
In high-pressure knockout games, runs on the board are gold. The WACA can offer some early movement for the seamers, but it generally settles into a good batting strip. The captain winning the toss will likely choose to bat first to avoid the scoreboard pressure of a chase in an elimination final.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The WACA Ground is renowned for its pace and bounce. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard will find assistance, while batters get full value for their shots once they are set.
Weather: The forecast for Perth is clear and sunny with a temperature around 28°C. The "Fremantle Doctor" sea breeze may aid swing bowlers in the late afternoon.
PS-W vs MS-W: Who Will Win?
The Melbourne Stars have the firepower to cause an upset, particularly if Lanning and Sutherland fire in unison. However, the Perth Scorchers are a more complete unit, especially in their own backyard. Beth Mooney's current form is a massive differentiator, and the Scorchers' bowling attack is better suited to the WACA conditions.
Bet on Perth Scorchers Women to win.
