TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Women Preview
Sophie Devine and her players will be confident heading into this game. After a slow start, the team has peaked at the right time this season. They defeated the Brisbane Heat Women in the last game by 7 wickets. They play at their home and have dominated opponents here. Devine would like her players to build on the record and book a berth in the challengers with a win.
Beth Mooney played a match-winning knock in the last game, and the team expects her to deliver an electrifying start with Katie Mack. The middle order has done well in the last few games, and the team expects quick runs from Maddy Drake, Sophie Devine, and Freya Kemp. The team will expect fireworks in the lower middle order from Paige Scholfield, Alana King, and Chloe Ainsworth.
The bowling attack looked good in the last game. Sophie Devine will look to lead from the front and strike early in this game with Chloe Ainsworth. Alana King and Ruby Strange leaked runs against the Brisbane Heat, and they will look to deliver tighter spells in the middle overs. The team expects strong performances in the supporting roles from Lilly Mills and Amy Edgar.
Melbourne Stars Women Preview
Annabel Sutherland’s team will be under pressure in this game. The team has lost form at the most crucial juncture in the tournament. They suffered a 9-wicket loss against the Sydney Thunder Women in the last game. The batting lineup has struggled in the last few games, and Sutherland expects a stronger comeback from them in this must-win game.
Meg Lanning is the leading run getter this season, and she will look to deliver an electrifying start with Rhys McKenna. Annabel Sutherland must anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Danielle Gibson and Maia Bouchier. Amy Jones and Kim Garth must do well in the lower middle order, as this has been the team’s weakness.
The bowling attack faces an acid test in this game. Annabel Sutherland must lead from the front and strike early in the game with Kim Garth. Rhys McKenna and Sophie Day must keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs as the Scorchers have a hard-hitting batting lineup. The team expects Maisy Gibson to do well in supporting roles.
Weather Conditions
We expect clear skies over Perth. Batting would be slightly challenging on the fast wicket, and the weather would make the ball move. It has been a high-scoring surface in the past. The average first innings score this season has been 150 runs, and the team batting first will aim for a score of more than 180.
PRSW vs MLSW Pitch Report
WACA Perth is a lively pitch where the ball moves around a bit, and the bowlers can extract pace off the surface. Batters also find plenty of scoring opportunities as the ball comes onto the bat nicely, and the outfield is fast. There isn’t much on the surface for the spinners on this wicket.
Toss: To Bat
In the last six games at this venue, the team batting first has won four times. It isn’t easy to chase a score on this wicket, as it tends to slow down in the second half. The side winning the toss would take a cue from these results and choose to bat first upon winning the toss.
