TEAMS PREVIEW
Melbourne Stars Women Preview
It was a disastrous show from Annabel Sutherland and her girls in 2024, where they finished at the bottom of the points table. The team won only twice in 10 games. Sutherland and her girls must put those upsets behind them and focus on a good start. They have a poor record against the Strikers Women and need to back themselves to win this game.
Ines McKeon and Rhys McKenna didn’t have a great season in 2024, and the team expects the pair to deliver a solid start. Meg Lanning, Annabel Sutherland, and Marizanne Kapp pack a punch in the middle order, and they must build partnerships. Sasha Moloney, Danielle Gibson, and Sophie Reid must add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Marizanne Kapp and Kim Garth are an experienced new-ball pair, and they will look to make early inroads in this game. Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Day must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. Maisy Gibson and Danielle Gibson must deliver strong performances in the supporting roles.
Adelaide Strikers Women Preview
Tahlia McGrath’s team didn’t have a great tournament in 2024, finishing above only the Melbourne Stars Women. Key players struggled with consistency, and the team has made several changes to the squad. McGrath would like her players to make a fresh start to the campaign and start with a win.
They will have a new opening pair this year and expect Tabatha Saville and Ellie Johnston to deliver a good start. The middle order is formidable, and the side will expect partnerships between Tahila McGrath, Laura Wolvaardt, and Bridget Patterson. Madeline Penna is a good finisher, and she, along with Amanda-Jade Wellington, will look to do the big hitting in the final overs.
Megan Schutt and Jemma Barsby are key bowlers for the team, and the pair must make early inroads into the Melbourne Stars’ batting lineup. Anesu Mushangwe and McGrath will need to bowl tight spells in the middle overs. The side will also expect a good show from Ellie Johnston and Amanda-Jade Wellington in the supporting roles.
Weather Conditions
Melbourne will have overcast skies. We expect the wicket to be good for batting, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. The average first-innings score here is 137 runs. The side batting first in this game would eye a total of 160 runs to feel confident.
MLSW vs ADSW Pitch Report
The Junction Oval has a good batting surface. The smaller size of the outfield makes it easy to score runs at this venue. Fast bowlers have also done so, as there is a lot for them on this surface with the new ball. Spinners have struggled here due to the short dimensions of the ground.
Toss: To Bowl
In the last 10 games at the venue, the team chasing the score has won seven times. It is a fast track, and fast bowlers will enjoy bowling early in the game. Both sides would look to make early use of the conditions and will put the opposition into bat after winning the toss.
