Perth Scorchers Women are coming off a thrilling tied game against Sydney Sixers Women at Hobart, where both teams ended up on 126. At one point, the Sixers were cruising to the target but some inspired bowling by Alana King (3-21) restricted their march.
The Scorchers are now in fourth place with just one match remaining.
Once again they will look at Beth Mooney to lead the batting charge. Mooney tops the team’s batting charts with 336 runs in 9 innings at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 116.
Expect some runs from Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday too.
Alana King, after her superb performance in the previous match, is now the season’s highest-wicket taker at 20 wickets at an economy of 6.85.
Chloe Ainsworth has done a fabulous job as well, taking 11 wickets at 5.94.
Key Players: Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine, Alana King

The W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth typically provides a balanced playing surface for domestic matches. The pitch delivers consistent bounce and carry, making it favorable for fast bowlers, especially with a new ball. Batters will need to navigate the initial deliveries carefully before they can really settle in, as the new ball presents difficulties in both innings.
The weather in Perth will be pleasant and breezy. There is no threat of rain, so we should get a full match.
The average first innings score at the W.A.C.A. Ground is 140. Last season, the highest total posted here was Brisbane Heat Women’s 197-5 versus Perth Scorchers Women. They won that match by 67 runs. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 150-160 runs.
All four matches of WBBL 10 played at the W.A.C.A. Ground have been won by the team batting first. Both captains are hence likely to bat first in this match.
In their last outing in WBBL 10, Hobart Hurricanes Women defeated Perth Scorchers Women by 72 runs. However, after suffering two consecutive losses, their confidence may be shaken. The Scorchers have claimed victory in three of their four matches at the W.A.C.A. this season. With their strong performance at home lately, it looks like Perth will have the upper hand in this matchup.
Back Perth Scorchers Women as the winners of this match.
