Sophie Devine’s side comes into this game with a confident 5-wicket win over the Sydney Sixers Women. With back to back wins in their last two games the side has now moved to the fourth place on the points table and shall be eying to move up with a win in this game. Devine would be aware of Renegades’ poor form and make the most out of it. 

Beth Mooney has been in tremendous form and she will be looking to provide a good start with Devine who is yet to do well this season. Nicole Bolton and Heather Graham have done well and add power to the batting line-up in the middle. With Chloe Piparo, Megan Banting and Lauren Down to follow the side have good depth in its batting. 

Taneale Peschel and Bolton have done well with the new ball and the side would be expecting a similar show from them in this game. Sarah Glenn, Piepa Cleary and Graham have done well in the last two games. With Devine and Jemma Barsby in the mix the side has got good depth in its bowling attack.

Melbourne Renegades Women Preview

It has been a disastrous season for Amy Satterthwaite’s side so far. After 8 games they have only one win to be proud of and sit at the bottom of the points table. They went down by 9 runs against the Hobart Hurricanes Women in the last game in what was another disastrous effort from the side. They had lost to the Scorchers earlier and shall look to even out in this game.  

The side has had trouble with the consistency of its batters and shall need a good start in this game from Sophie Molineux and Carly Leeson as the pair failed in the last game. Satterthwaite and Lizelle Lee look good in the middle order but the side would require better performances down the order from Courtney Webb and Josephine Dooley to create their chances in this game. 

Carly Leeson and Rosemary Mair have to grab early wickets, especially from the latter who will need to make good use of her experience. Molineux is looking in good rhythm and the side would have high expectations from her to keep the run rate in check. Molly Strano and Ella Hayward will have to play good supporting act which they haven’t done in most games. 

Melbourne Renegades Women Predicted Playing XI:

Amy Satterthwaite (c), Sophie Molineux, Lizelle Lee, Courtney Webb, Josephine Dooley (wk), Molly Strano, Erin Fazackerley, Carly Leeson, Makinley Blows, Ella Hayward, Rosemary Mair

Melbourne Renegades Women Actual Playing XI:

Amy Satterthwaite, Sophie Molineux, Makinley Blows, Molly Strano, Lizelle Lee, Josie Dooley, Amy Yates, Carly Leeson, Courtney Webb, Rosemary Mair, Ella Hayward

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Sydney would be clear on November 14 but the wicket would be moist due to rains on the preceding days.  It will be a tough wicket to bat on and batters will need to pace their innings with care. Any score in excess of 140 runs would be a fighting total on a pitch that would offer good return to the bowlers.

Venue Details

Sydney Showground Stadium is one of the best wickets to bat on in Australia as the ball comes on to the bat nicely. But the weather conditions at the moment have been assisting the bowlers who are able to generate movement off the surface. Spinners too have done well here and this makes it a competitive T20 wicket for the batters and the bowlers.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitches have been slightly tricky to bat on in the first innings and we haven’t seen sides put up huge totals on the board.  In these conditions the side chasing the score always has an advantage and hence we see the skipper winning the toss wanting to bowl first on this surface.
