Sydney Thunder
Melbourne Stars
Georgia Voll to score Over 17.5 runs
Voll is the leading run-scorer for Sydney Thunder and is averaging 41.14. She has scored at least 18 runs in 4 of her last 6 outings and we are backing her to do the same here as well.
Samantha Bates to pick up Over 1.5 wickets
Bates is the leading wicket-taker of the season with 17 wickets and has picked up at least 2 wickets in 6 of her last 10 T20 games. As the pitch at Sydney does assist the bowlers, we expect her to bowl a good spell.
The Melbourne Stars will fight for survival as they face the table-toppers Sydney Thunder in a crucial match in the ongoing WBBL. The game will be played at the Drummoyne Oval in Sydney on Wednesday.
The two teams have faced each other in 16 matches to date. Sydney Thunder is the dominant team with 11 wins compared to 5 for Melbourne Stars.
This match will be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App. You can also watch it live on the Star Sports Network.
Sydney Thunder has been clinical in its performance this season and has lost only 2 of the 8 matches it has played. It is currently at the top of the table and is on track for an easy qualification to the playoffs.
Georgia Voll and Chamari Athapaththu make a strong opening pair and will look to give the team a brisk start here. Voll has had an excellent season so far, scoring 2 half-centuries, and is the leading run-scorer for the team.
Athapaththu has shown flashes of brilliance with the bat and has also done an excellent job with the ball, picking up 10 wickets. Phoebe Litchfield and Heather Knight coming in at number 3 and 4 respectively are in good touch as well, making the Thunder one of the strongest batting units in the League.
Samantha Bates is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 17 wickets and has been quite economical during the middle overs. Shabnim Ismail, Hannah Darlington, and Taneale Peschel will lead the pace attack in this game.
The Melbourne Stars have struggled quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and are coming into this contest on the back of 4 consecutive losses. Another loss here will mean that the team will be all but knocked out of the tournament.
Despite having some of the best talent in the squad, the Stars have been unable to perform on the field and get the desired results. The team has tried quite a few opening combinations but has yet to get a good start. Yastika Bhatia has been unable to convert her starts into big knocks and has an average of just over 25 runs.
Similarly, the likes of Tess Flintoff, Meg Lanning, and Rhys McKenna haven’t been able to get going. The all-rounders, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland, and Deepti Sharma haven’t had much of an impact with either the bat or the ball.
Kim Garth is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 9 wickets while Sophie Day, who leads the spin department has 7 against her name.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at the Drummoyne Oval is balanced. The quicker bowlers will get plenty of pace and bounce when the ball is new and there will be some swing as well. However, playing shots will get easier as the ball gets older. A score of around 150 is a par score on this surface.
The weather here is expected to be cloudy with temperatures of over 20 degrees.
Sydney Thunder has played some excellent cricket so far and start this match as the favorite to win. The Stars will need to come up with something special if they want to win here.
Bet on Sydney Thunder W to win.
