TEAMS PREVIEW

Melbourne Renegades Women Preview

It was a rain washout for Sophie Molineux's side in their last game against the Sydney Sixers Women. The side did well with the bat till the skies opened up. It has been a poor season for the side, and they are out of semifinal contention. Molineux shall want her players to play with a positive mind in this game.  

Hayley Matthews and Chamari Athapaththu have to score runs at the top and do it at a better strike rate. Erica Kershaw, Josephine Dooley, and Sophie Molineux have an important role in the middle order and must build partnerships. The side would also like a good show from Courtney Webb, Carly Leeson, and Sarah Coyte down the order.  

The bowling attack has been in poor form, and they need early breakthroughs from Molineux and Ella Hayward. Matthews must bring her experience to play in this game and bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Rhiann O'Donnell and Sarah Coyte. Georgia Prestwidge also needs to deliver a good performance in this game.

Perth Scorchers Women Preview

Back-to-back losses have hurt the side's standing on the points table. Sophie Devine's side lost to the Brisbane Heat Women in the last game by 33 runs and shall look for a strong comeback. Their opponents aren't playing well, and Devine will take advantage of it here in this game.  

Beth Mooney has looked in good form, and the side would expect a strong show from her and Devine at the start of the game. Chloe Piparo, Maddy Green, and Marizanne Kapp make this middle order strong and will look to add quick runs. Mathilda Carmichael, Amy Louise Edgar, and Alana King add to the side's batting strength in the lower middle order.  

Lilly Mills and Marizanne Kapp shall look to bowl better lines than they did in the last game and strike early. Devine has struggled with the ball, and she must do well in the middle overs with Taneale Peschel and Alana King. Piepa Cleary and Amy Louise Edgar must do well in the supporting role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Rain predictions for Melbourne on  November 12 make batting conditions challenging. Fast bowlers would get the ball to move on this surface, and they will enjoy bowling under the clouds. Batters have to be watchful on this wicket to do well. The side batting first shall be happy to have 150 runs on the board.

Venue Details

The Junction Oval, Melbourne wicket is good for batting, and batters can hit through the line. The smaller size of the outfield makes it easy to score runs at this venue. Fast bowlers have also done 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

We expect bowlers to get assistance from the surface at the start of the game. The wicket shall ease in the second half. The side chasing the score has an advantage in rain-curtailed games. The side winning the toss shall like to bowl first and use the conditions.
