ST-W vs MR-W Betting Tips
Total runs in the first 10 overs for Melbourne Renegades Women to be under 69.5 runs
The Renegades Women will make the bowlers pay for missing their lines and lengths. The side ticked along nicely with 67 runs in their first 10 overs against the Hurricanes Women. This bet would be within reach for a side like this.
Total runs in the first over for Melbourne Renegades Women to be under 6.5 runs
The aggression and intent are a given for the Melbourne team, but that doesn’t mean you should expect it in the first over. With the team looking to play smart cricket in the long-term, you should expect a gameplan of assessing conditions rather than going hell for leather in the opening over. The team scored five runs in its previous opening over.

ST-W vs MR-W Team Previews
Sydney Thunder Women
The Sydney Thunder Women have only managed two wins, which hides deeper issues. They’re near the bottom of the WBBL standings, plagued by an inconsistent batting order. Captain Phoebe Litchfield’s leadership hasn’t quite sparked a turnaround, and the team’s top four need to fire to avoid another collapse—especially since there’s little depth behind them.
They recently posted under 120 against the Sixers Women. The bowling, apart from veteran Shabnim Ismail, offers little to trouble opponents and has already conceded 150+ four times.
If Ismail doesn’t strike early, Thunder could quickly fall behind. The absence of Chamari Athapaththu is likely to be felt even more as the season goes on.

Melbourne Renegades Women
The Melbourne Renegades Women look ready to make another title run. Captain Sophie Molineux brings tactical strength to a team already boosted by Georgia Wareham’s outstanding all-round form—185 runs and 9 wickets in just 6 matches.
Deandra Dottin, after a stellar Derby showing (3/20), is hitting peak form, and Courtney Webb provides vital middle-order solidity. Nicole Faltum and Tess Flintoff, key contributors from last season’s success, add further depth.
The Renegades have strong batting throughout and more than enough bowling options to adapt to any game situation. Back them confidently for another strong outing.

ST-W vs MR-W Toss Prediction
Chasing has worked well for the Renegades, and both captains are likely to prefer bowling first if they win the toss.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Drummoyne Oval can be a tricky batting surface—new-ball bowlers could find some movement early, while spinners will also get assistance as the game develops. Batters will need to work hard for runs, and first-innings totals might be on the lower side (average score 123). Although there’s been recent rain, the weather looks set to cooperate with partly sunny, warm, and humid conditions.
ST-W vs MR-W: Who Will Win?
The Renegades have shown greater fight and depth all season, and they should bounce back strongly from a narrow DLS loss last time out. Expect them to extend Thunder’s tough run. This is a great opportunity to bet on the underdog.
Bet on Melbourne Renegades Women to win.
