In the sixth match of the 2024 Women's Big Bash League (WBBL), Brisbane Heat Women will clash with Melbourne Renegades Women at the Allan Border Field this Wednesday. Brisbane have started their campaign with a confident win while the Renegades suffered a loss in their opening encounter. Brisbane have enjoyed great success against the Renegades in recent years and will start this encounter as the favorites.
Brisbane Heat Women’s kicked off their WBBL 10 campaign with a solid 4-wicket win versus Adelaide Strikers Women at the Adelaide Oval. They were asked 134 to chase and with the help of Charli Knott’s unbeaten 44 off 30 balls, they overhauled the target with two overs to spare.
Brisbane have a strong batting unit with many star performers like Georgia Redmayne and Grace Harris. Harris was their best batter last season, scoring 501 runs in 17 innings at an average of 31.31 and a strike rate of 166.
In the previous game, Indian seamer Shikha Pandey was the standout performer from the Heat’s bowling unit, registering incredible figures of 2-14 from 4 overs. They also have reliable wicket-taking options in Nicola Hancock and Jess Jonassen, both of whom shared 47 wickets between them last season.
Key Players: Georgia Redmayne, Charli Knott, Jess Jonassen
Grace Harris Total Runs Over 20.5 1.85
Bet nowThe power-hitting Grace Harris scored 29 runs in 25 balls in the season opener against the Strikers. Harris is one player who scores at a quick rate, and at Brisbane, she has scored 319 runs in 21 matches, averaging 21. She is one of the best batters to bet on for this contest to score over 20.5 runs.

Melbourne Renegades Women are coming off a 3-wicket loss to Sydney Sixers Women. On a good batting strip at the Adelaide Oval, the Renegades put up 178-8 on the board. That didn’t prove to be enough as the Sixers romped home with one over to spare.
Georgia Wareham top-scored for the Renegades in that match with a sparkling 61 off 31 balls. Opener Courtney Webb’s 43 off 39 helped hold the innings together.
Wareham was among the top batters for the Renegades last season and her being in form is a good sign for the team. Wareham also picked up 3-26 from 3 overs in the game, proving how valuable she is for the Renegades.
Star all-rounder Hayley Matthews didn’t play the opening game. We aren’t aware of the reason for her unavailability and it remains to be seen if she features in the team’s next clash.
Apart from Wareham, Linsey Smith, Sophie Molineux, and Alice Capsey are good options in the bowling department for the Renegades.
Key Players: Alice Capsey, Georgia Wareham, Courtney Webb
Courtney Webb to Score Over 15.5 Runs 1.85
Bet nowWebb scored 43 runs in the last game against the Sydney Sixers, and she looks in good touch, scoring over 30 runs in each of her last five innings. She opens the batting for the Renegades and will certainly look to take advantage of the powerplay overs. Given her recent form, we back her to score over 15.5 runs in today's match.

The Allan Border Field offers an ideal T20 surface, with help for both batters and bowlers. There is enough bounce, carry, and movement here for seamers to be interested all the time. Batters will also enjoy the bounce and pace here, as it allows them to cut and play their strokes freely.
The weather in Brisbane will be partly cloudy and pleasant. There is a slight chance of rain that way, but it’s unlikely to disrupt the game much.
The average first innings score at the Allan Border Field is 138. Last season in the WBBL, the highest total posted here was Perth Scorchers Women’s 192-3 versus Brisbane Heat Women. Perth won that match by 39 runs. The team batting first here will be looking to set a score of around 150-160 runs.
Total Match Score Over 289.5 2.01
Bet nowThe average total match score in the last 5 WBBL matches played at Allan Border Field is 313. In their last game, the Renegades scored 178 runs, while the Heat chased down 135 runs in 18 overs. The average score per innings at Brisbane is around 150-155 runs. Last season, both matches between these teams were high-scoring affairs, crossing the 320-run mark.
17 of the 29 matches played at the Allan Border Field in domestic women’s T20s have been won by the chasing side. The team winning the toss is likely to field first here.
In their last five meetings, Brisbane Heat Women have secured victories in four against Melbourne Renegades Women. They have started the new season with a solid win and will be looking to continue that form. Moreover, they are also playing at home, which gives them a slight advantage. The Renegades, despite coming off a loss, have a well-balanced squad and won’t go down without a fight. However, looking at the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, we feel Brisbane will prevail in this encounter.
Back Brisbane Heat Women as the winners of this match.
