TEAMS PREVIEW

Melbourne Renegades Preview

Hayley Matthews' side hasn't been in the best form. They have lost twice in three games and lost by eight wickets in the last game to the Sydney Thunder Women. Key players on the side haven't been inconsistent, which has been a problem. They have a good record against the Sydney Sixers Women, and Matthews would like her players to take inspiration from those wins.  

Hayley Matthews and Tammy Beaumont are capable batters and will look to deliver a good start. The middle order is formidable for the side, and they will expect runs in this game from Josephine Dooley, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Courtney Webb. Georgia Wareham, Erica Kershaw, and Sarah Coyte can hit the ball and will look to add quick runs.  

The bowling attack faces a big challenge in this game, and they will need a good start from Matthews and Ella Hayward. Georgia Wareham and Sarah Coyte impressed with tight spells in the last game, and they will look to do the same. The bowlers haven't done well, and the side will need a good show from Kaur and Georgia Prestwidge. 

Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing XI:

Hayley Matthews (c), Tammy Beaumont, Sarah Coyte, Josephine Dooley (wk), Harmanpreet Kaur, Jess Duffin, Ella Hayward, Erica Kershaw, Georgia Prestwidge, Georgia Wareham, Courtney Webb

Melbourne Renegades Actual Playing XI:

Jess Duffin, Tammy Beaumont, Ella Hayward, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Erica Kershaw, Josephine Dooley, Georgia Prestwidge, Georgia Wareham, Sarah Coyte, Sara Kennedy

Sydney Sixers Preview

Three consecutive losses have put Ellyse Perry's side in a spot of bother. In the last game, they went down by three wickets against the Brisbane Heat Women. One more loss would make it impossible for the side to reach the playoffs. Perry would like a more determined show from her players as they fight for survival in the tournament.  

Alyssa Healy's freak injury has hurt the balance in the batting line-up. Ellyse Perry has batted well, and she must lead from the front and set up a big opening-wicket partnership with Suzie Bates. The middle order hasn't done well so far, and the team will need a good show from the experienced trio of Ashleigh Gardner, Chole Tryon, and Erin Burns. The side will also expect quick runs in the lower middle order from Maitlan Brown, Jess Kerr, and Kate Pelle.  

The side will need early wickets from Jess Kerr and Lauren Cheatle in the game, as Renegades Women have good players at the top. Gardner has bowled well, and she must keep a check on the run rate with Chole Tryon. Maitlan Brown and Kate Peterson must do well in the ing role for the side to win this game. 

Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:

Ellyse Perry (c), Suzie Bates, Ashleigh Gardner, Erin Burns, Chloe Tryon, Maitlan Brown, Kate Pelle (wk), Jess Kerr, Kate Peterson, Lauren Cheatle, Jade Allen

Sydney Sixers Actual Playing XI:

Ashleigh Gardner, Chloe Tryon, Ellyse Perry, Erin Burns, Maitlan Brown, Suzie Bates, Jade Allen, Jess Kerr, Kate Peterson, Lauren Cheatle, Kate Pelle

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Melbourne will have clear skies on October 28, and we should see a good batting surface. The ball would come onto the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. The side batting first in this game would be eying a total above 160 runs to feel confident on this track.

MRW vs SYSW Pitch Report

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 Bat

The venue is known for big scores, and most teams in the past have preferred to bat here first. The side batting first has won both the games at this venue this season. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss to bat first and aim to score big on the board.
