The Melbourne Stars Women would be aiming for their first win of the season as they meet Melbourne Renegades Women in the 15th game of the Women's Big Bash League 2022. The Stars saw their last game against the Sydney Thunder Women washed away by rain. The Renegades come into this game with a loss against Adelaide Strikers Women.
Melbourne Stars Women haven't won a game yet and sit at the bottom of the points table. The side would be under pressure in this contest as a loss would dent their hopes of making it to the next round. Melbourne Renegades Women are battling poor form, and we will likely see a close contest between the two sides.
Sophie Molineux went down by 8 wickets against the Adelaide Strikers in their last game. It was the third consecutive loss for the team in this tournament. They are 7th on the points table and must make a turnaround from here. Molineux shall look to exploit Melbourne Stars' poor form in this game and end the losing spree.
Sophie Molineux and Hayley Matthews have missed out in the last few games. The side would need a good start from them in this contest. The middle order has also been inconsistent. The trio of Evelyn Jones, Erica Kershaw, and Courtney Webb must score runs for the side's cause. Carly Leespm, Ellie Falconer, and Georgia Prestwidge shall look to contribute in the final overs.
The Stars batters aren't in the best form, and the new ball pair shall look to exploit it. Shabnim Ismail must lead from the front and get early breakthroughs with Molineux. Matthews has leaked runs, and she will need to bowl good spells in the middle overs with Sarah Coyte. Prestwidge and Ella Hayward add to the side's bowling options.

It was a lucky escape for Nicole Faltum's team in the last game against the Sydney Thunder Women. The Thunder Women were 102 for losing one wicket when the rain stopped play. They haven't won a game yet this season and sit at the bottom of the points table. Faltum would like to see a spirited effort from her players and win their first game of the season.
The opening pair of Lauren Winfield-Hill and Jemimah Rodrigues must offer a positive start to the side, as both are capable batters. In the middle order, players are failing to convert starts, and the side needs runs from Alice Capsey, Annabel Sutherland, and Kim Garth. Faltum, Tess Flintoff, and Sasha Moloney shall have important roles to play in the lower middle order.
Kim Garth and Tess Flintoff will need to grab early wickets, as the rest of the bowling attack hasn't delivered the goods. Sophie Day and Sasha Mooney must bring their experience to play in this must-win game for the team. They would also expect tight spells from Sutherland and Rhys McKenna.

The conditions won't be easy for batting during the game as batters must get used to the pace and movement off the surface. Rain is on the cards in Ballarat on October 29. A score in the range of 140-150 runs would be a good score on this track.
Eastern Oval, Ballarat, is a small ground, but the pitch has been difficult for the batters. Fast bowlers have done well, and batters must spend time on the crease to do well at this venue. It isn't the best venue for the spinners, and they need to make good use of the variety to pick wickets here.
The wicket here is known for assisting bowlers at the start of the game. Scoring runs early on this wicket hasn't been easy, and this would be on the minds of both sides. Most teams have won games chasing a target, so bowling first would seem a sensible choice at the toss.
Melbourne Stars Women haven't won a game in this tournament; they must win this one to stay alive in the contest. Their batters have struggled, and it complicates matters for the side. Melbourne Renegades Women have enjoyed a good record against Stars in the past. It will put them nose ahead of the Stars in this game.
Melbourne Renegades Women to win!
