As the two strongest sides in the group stage, we could well be seeing a warm-up for the final of this year's Women's Big Bash League in this game, which should add to the desire and drive on both sides to get a victory and put down a marker ahead of the play-offs.
Melbourne Renegades Women have been a side who have produced exceptional team performances across this competition whereas Sydney Thunder Women have tended to rely on individual brilliance - and those type of displays have been forthcoming.
Both teams may toy with the opportunity of giving a couple of fringe players a game in this match, something which could help the individuals to be more game-ready if called upon.
However, we expect both sides to be at full strength as they look to lock in the top position.

It was another comfortable victory for Melbourne Renegades Women in their last game as they overcame Hobart Hurricanes Women by 22 runs at the Bellerive Oval on Thursday evening. The win was all the more impressive after they lost opening batter Hayley Matthews for a two ball duck at the top of the innings.
Matthews will be desperate to produce something in this game and show her worth to this team in a top of the table clash. It was Georgia Wareham who stepped up in the win over Hobart Hurricanes Women and she, along with Naomi Stalenberg will be full of confidence.
Right-arm fast bowler Milly Illingworth has impressed across this campaign but really looks to be peaking at the right time and we expect her to cause damage with the new ball.

Sydney Thunder Women will arrive in Melbourne for this game still buzzing after their narrow win by 4 wickets with 2 balls remaining against Melbourne Stars Women in Sydney on Wednesday evening.
Now they have the opportunity to do a Melbourne double and turn the win over the Stars into another over the Renegades.
Hannah Darlington and Chamari Athapaththu have both been exceptional with the ball and have the ability to win a game with both their batting and bowling abilities.
Tahlia Wilson and Anika Learoyd will both come into this clash off the back of hitting scores of 30+ in the last victory.

Cloudy conditions are forecast across this game on Saturday and although there is unlikely to be much sun poking through in Melbourne, the temperature will still be over 30 degrees. No rain is expected to interrupt the game.
The Junction Oval is a compact ground which has consistent bounce and good carry. Pace bowlers often get sideways movement with the new ball in the first innings of the game but after that it can become something of a batter's paradise. Whoever bats first will be looking to post between 145-155.
At the Junction Oval, there is usually a bit more life in the pitch during the first 10 overs of the game before it then flattens out and is a little tougher for the pace bowlers. As a result, we predict that both teams will want to field first in this game.
This looks like being an epic contest between the two strongest sides in the tournament so far. Ultimately it may come down to an individual performance but we think that the consistency across the Melbourne Renegades Women side will prove to be crucial. We expect Melbourne Renegades Women to get the victory.
