Sydney Sixers Women are 3rd on the points table with 4 points from 3 games. They will be without Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner, who are away on Australia duty, so Erin Burns will lead the side. The Sixers lost to Adelaide Strikers Women by 38 runs at this venue yesterday and will be keen to bounce back.
Lauren Kua is their leading run-scorer in the tournament with 70 runs in three matches. Claire Moore scored 35 against Adelaide Strikers Women yesterday, while Elsa Hunter made 43 against Brisbane Heat Women. However, the Sixers were bowled out for just 105 runs in their last game. Their batters will need to do much better this time.
Courtney Sippel has been their best bowler so far, taking 6 wickets in three matches. She also picked up 3 wickets for 13 runs against Brisbane Heat Women. Frankie Nicklin has taken 5 wickets in three matches, while Juliette Morton has chipped in with 2 wickets. The Sixers will once again rely on their bowlers to keep Melbourne Stars Women under pressure.
Key Players: Lauren Kua, Courtney Sippel, Claire Moore

Melbourne Stars Women are 8th on the points table with 2 points from 3 games. They picked up their first win of the tournament yesterday, beating ACT Meteors Women by 4 wickets. Meg Lanning is leading the side, while Annabel Sutherland is away on Australia duty. Stars will be hoping to build on their recent win and get another good result.
Rhys McKenna is their leading run-scorer with 78 runs in three matches, including 55 against Melbourne Renegades Women. Meg Lanning also scored 52 against the Renegades, but she was dismissed for a duck against ACT Meteors Women yesterday.
Carly Leeson has added 50 runs in three matches. The Stars were bowled out for just 78 runs by Sydney Thunder Women earlier in the tournament, so their batters will need to be more consistent.
Sophie Day has been their leading wicket-taker with 4 wickets in three matches. She picked up 2 wickets for 25 runs against Melbourne Renegades Women. Zoe Samuel and Carly Leeson have taken 2 wickets each. Their bowlers did well enough to help the team win yesterday, and they will be looking to keep Sydney Sixers Women under pressure in this game.
Key Players: Meg Lanning, Rhys McKenna, Sophie Day

The weather in Sydney is expected to be partly cloudy, with temperatures around 21°C during the match. The chances of rain are low, especially during match hours, so a full match is expected. Humidity will be around 66%, which could offer some help to the seamers.
The pitch at Blacktown International Sportspark has hosted two matches in this tournament so far, and both have been won by the team batting first. The average first-innings score is 155, while teams batting second have managed an average of just 121. Adelaide Strikers Women also beat Sydney Sixers Women by 38 runs at this venue yesterday after scoring 143. Looking at these numbers, batting first seems to be the better option here.
Score Prediction
If Sydney Sixers Women bat first: 140-160 runs
If Melbourne Stars Women bat first: 120-140 runs
Both matches at this venue have been won by the team batting first, so the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first and put a good total on the board.
Toss Prediction: Sydney Sixers Women to win the coin toss
Sydney Sixers Women have won 2 of their 3 matches and are sitting 3rd on the points table, while Melbourne Stars Women are 8th with just one win. Sixers have also won 3 of their 4 meetings against the Stars in the Spring Challenge.
Both teams will miss some key Australian players, with Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner unavailable for the Sixers, while Annabel Sutherland is away for the Stars. Melbourne will need Meg Lanning to step up with the bat, and their bowlers will have to carry on from where they left off against ACT Meteors Women yesterday.
However, Sydney have looked better overall in the tournament and also have a good record against Melbourne. They look like the favourites to win this match.
