We really are into the 'business end' of this year's Women's Big Bash League and as a result, every game has something riding on it!
And this match is no different, with Brisbane Heat Women beginning the fixture in third place but only three points from the summit of the league and with two games left to play. For Melbourne Stars Women, it has been a season to forget, but if they can scrape together two wins from their final group stage games, this one and Adelaide Strikers Women, then for now they could still get into the top five.
Do not be surprised if we see some nervy performances, particularly at the start of the innings for both teams, as defeat, particularly for Melbourne Stars Women, would mean the end of their play-off ambitions.
Get ready, both teams will be desperate to pick up another win!

Brisbane Heat Women proved to be far too strong for Melbourne Stars Women in Match 30 at the Drummoyne Oval on Sunday as they got over the line to win by 6 wickets with 15 balls remaining.
The win was setup by a remarkable performance from 18 year old left-arm pace bowler Lucy Hamilton who, in only her seventh WBBL game, produced bowling figures of 5/8 including sending down a maiden over. Unsurprisingly she took the Player of the Match Award and dismissed big names in Yastika Bhatia, Annabel Sutherland, Meg Lanning, Tess Flintoff and Deepti Sharma.
If Hamilton can channel any of that performance into this game then Heat will be very tough to play against once more.
With the bat, Jemimah Rodrigues was the star hitting seven boundaries and she will be the key with the bat in Brisbane.

Melbourne Stars Women will need to find a way to play the pace bowling of Lucy Hamilton in this game otherwise they will be looking at yet another heavy defeat. The team management, along with their experienced international players, will no doubt be coming up with plans so they can prevent the young tearaway from picking up another five-wicket haul.
It has been the batters who have under-performed in this side and that has left too much for the bowlers to do on many occasions. That said, in Marizanne Kapp, Kim Garth, Tess Flintoff and Annabel Sutherland, there is plenty of top level talent who could yet cause problems for Brisbane Heat Women in this game.
Anything other than a win will see Melbourne Stars Women eliminated from the tournament.

According to the weather forecast, there could be a delayed start to this game as there are some thunderstorms scheduled in the early afternoon in Brisbane on Friday. Once they clear up, we should be in for a dry rest of game although it will be humid and the temperature is expected to be up at 22 degrees.
The Allan Border Field is often a venue where we see bat dominate ball. However, with the damp conditions ahead of the toss, there could well be more in the wicket for the bowlers than usual. Whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 140.
Brisbane Heat Women won the toss in the last game and had no problems in chasing down the target in the second innings. As a result, we expect both teams to want to field first ahead of this match.
Throughout this campaign, experts have looked at the Melbourne Stars Women's line-up and wondered just how they are doing so badly and stuck at the bottom of the table. Of course, there is always the chance that they may respond with that much-promised great performance in this game but the league table tells a different story. We are predicting another comfortable victory for Brisbane Heat Women.
