Betting Tips

First ball of the match to be a dot ball

1.20

Given the strong bowling lineups of both teams, the opening delivery is anticipated to be conservative. Piepa Cleary for the Scorchers Women and Marizanne Kapp for the Stars Women are known for their precision and could start the match with a tight over. This would be worth the punt to bet on.

2.22

With aggressive top-order batters like Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine, Perth Scorchers Women are likely to push hard in the initial overs despite facing a strong bowling attack. Their ability to exploit the powerplay could turn this into a profitable bet.

PSW vs MSW Match Prediction

Perth Scorchers W to win, 2.10

  • The team from Perth will have home advantage

Bet on Perth Scorchers Women To Win For Real Money

The home team’s aggressive batting lineup led by internationals like Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine, coupled with their proficient bowlers, provides them with a competitive edge. They have arguably the best leg-spinner in the world in their squad too. The Stars ladies will be competitive having won the most recent encounter against Perth. Their main issue may be the loss of a couple of key players from last year.

The head-to-head record only slightly tilts in favour of the Melbourne Stars Women. They have won the past three games against the Scorchers Women. The Perth Scorchers Women have won twice in the last five games.

PSW vs MSW Team Previews

Perth Scorchers Women

The Scorchers Women did well to achieve the knockout stage in 2023/24. Sadly, their campaign ended in a 67-run loss to the Heat Women in the Challenger. They will look to make a bright start to this season in a bid to go at least one better this year.

Sophie Devine and Beth Mooney are explosive at the top of the batting order by giving their team flying starts. Their ability to score quickly can demoralise opponents early in the game. They are both experienced players for their respective nations. As a pair, they have almost 730 runs in their previous 20 matches of the Women’s Big Bash League.

Alana King brings a strategic advantage with her leg-spin, capable of turning games around in the middle overs. She is one of the hottest properties in limited-overs cricket. In her last ten games in the Women’s Big Bash league, she has 11 wickets at an economy rate at just under six and a half.

Piepa Cleary’s medium-pace bowling provides breakthroughs when needed most. The right-arm bowler has 56 wickets in the competition with best bowling figures of three for 16.

Amy Jones offers reliability and stability in the top-order batting. She is a brilliant wicketkeeper behind the stumps too. The English cricketer has exactly 1200 Women’s Big Bash league runs and six half-centuries in the tournament.

  • Amy Jones
  • Beth Mooney (WK)
  • Chloe Piparo
  • Sophie Devine (C)
  • Carly Leeson
  • Maddy Darke
  • Piepa Cleary
  • Alana King
  • Amy Edgar

Melbourne Stars Women

The Melbourne Stars Women endured a difficult campaign last year despite three wins to end off and beating the Perth Scorchers Women twice. They will be hoping that a change in playing personnel brings a change in fortunes.

Meg Lanning is crucial for her team’s batting strategy. Her experience and ability to anchor an innings can set the platform for competitive totals or successful chases. She has 210 runs in her previous seven Women’s Big Bash League matches.

Sophie Reid is a wicketkeeper-batter in red-hot form. She hit 46 not out for the Melbourne Stars Women in the recently concluded T20 Spring Challenge.

Marizanne Kapp and Kim Garth form a formidable T20 bowling pair, combining pace and swing to challenge the top order of any team. The South African all-rounder Kapp brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of numerous conditions around the world.

The veteran T20 cricketer also recently made it to the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup Final. The Irish-born Garth was also recently included in the Women’s T20 World Cup with the Australian Women.

Annabel Sutherland and Tess Flintoff offer depth in both batting and bowling, making them valuable all-round options in crucial match phases. They are two of the brightest young prospects in Australian cricket. Between them, they have more than 100 Women’s Big Bash League wickets.

Sutherland has almost 1200 runs and three half-centuries in the competition. She was also player-of-the-match against the same opposition for her 49 off 27, two for 31 and three catches.

Sophie Day will be a threat to the Scorchers Women after she took bowling figures of four for 26 against them in the previous season.

Melbourne Stars Women Expected Playing 11

  • Meg Lanning
  • Yastika Bhatia (WK)
  • Marizanne Kapp
  • Annabel Sutherland
  • Deepti Sharma
  • Tess Flintoff
  • Sophie Reid
  • Kim Garth
  • Sasha Moloney (C)
  • Maisy Gibson
  • Sophie Day

PSW vs MSW Toss Prediction

Winning the toss could be significant. While the tournament is still in its early stages, both captains may fancy bowling first if they win the toss. The wicket is unlikely to change too much in the second innings, given it will be a fresh surface.

Pitch and Conditions

The Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) Ground is known for its fair play to both batters and bowlers alike. It is particularly known for a pitch that generally has a bit of extra bounce compared to most pitches around the world. This should be good for batters who like to go over the top, but equally useful for the bowlers to get something out of the wicket.

Because of the ideal conditions for cricket, any score between 150 – 160 runs could make for an exciting contest.

Weather conditions are expected to be perfect with clear skies and warm temperatures. A zero percent chance of rain also means you can expect the full game to be played out.

PSW vs MSW Betting Tips

Considering the strengths of the Perth Scorchers Women, particularly if they bowl first, it might be wise to bet on them. Their lineup has match-winners in each of the batting and bowling departments.

Sophie Devine was one of the stars for New Zealand Women in their Women’s T20 World Cup triumph this year. Alana King is another powerhouse member of the Perth squad, having won numerous world titles with the Australian Women.

The Melbourne Stars Women will be proud of winning the last three consecutive matches against the Perth Scorchers Women, however, they have a few new faces who may take time to gel into the squad at this stage.

Bet on the Perth Scorchers Women to win this match.
