Sydney Thunder’s winning run ended as they were bowled out for 97 runs while chasing a 172-run target against Perth Scorchers in their last match. They had won 4 consecutive matches until then.
Thunder are number one in the points table, followed by the Scorchers. With only a few games left in their respective league stages, both teams will be keen on winning this game to maintain their top two positions.
Chamari Athapaththu will be a key batter in the Thunder lineup in the top order. She has been in fine touch and can lead the comeback for SYT Women in this game.
Scorchers had struggled with the bat in two consecutive games but have finally found their rhythm with a strong performance in their last match. While Beth Mooney continues to be inconsistent, skipper Sophie Devine is back in form in the middle order.
It is a batting-friendly wicket at the MCG and both teams will be keen on getting their batters to deliver impactful knocks in this match.

Perth Scorchers saw their middle-order deliver a comeback after two consecutive batting failures. Dayalan Hemalatha and Sophie Devine were the top scorers for the Scorchers.
Coming into this match, PRS Women would be hoping for others to also find their form and start making significant contributions. Most important of all, the experienced Beth Mooney at the top will be expected to deliver a big start.
She hasn’t been consistent lately and her lack of runs has hurt Perth’s chances in recent matches. In one of their recent wins, PRS Women could only post 108 runs batting first.
It was the brilliant bowling performances that helped Scorcher win the game by 2 wickets. Alana King, Chloe Ainsworth, and Amy Louise Edgar are the match-winners in this bowling attack.
They played a key role in their last win over SYT as the Scorchers secured a 74-run victory. There haven’t been many consistent and reliable batters in the side and they will be hoping for a big comeback on a good track at the MCG. But the bowlers will still hold the key to victory for PRS Women.

Sydney Thunder will be eager to turn things around quickly after their recent loss. They were on a roll with 4 consecutive wins before PRS Women beat them by a huge margin.
The middle order of Phoebe Litchfield, Heather Knight, and Tahlia Wilson will be crucial for a comeback. In their previous outings, the top 4 of this lineup delivered more impactful knocks for SYT Women.
Opening batter Chamari Athapaththu will be one to watch out for in this match. She had scored 33 off 35 and 33 off 25 balls in her previous outings before being dismissed for a duck by Ainsworth in the last inning.
Middle-order batter Heather Knight scored two consecutive fifties before she was out for 13 off 19 balls in the last game. Phoebe Litchfield is another consistent batter who can be expected to make a comeback in this game.
While opener Georgia Voll hasn’t made a big impact lately, her contributions could help SYT get off to a decent start allowing the middle-order to build on a good foundation.
In the bowling attack, Samantha Bates and Chamari Athapaththu are among the consistent wicket-takers for SYT. Bowling all-rounder Taneale Peschel is another key bowler to watch out for.
However, overall, they haven’t been threatening with the ball so far. The opposition’s lack of consistency with the bat should play in their favor.

There will be cloudy skies in Melbourne on the match day with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. The new ball should move through the air and the seamers will find some help in the first 4 overs in the 1st innings.
It is a balanced wicket at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where both batters and bowlers have flourished in T20s. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s at this venue is 135 runs. However, we reckon the team batting first should be aiming for 170+ to be in a match-winning position.
Teams bowling first have won 4 of the 6 matches at the MCG so far this season. It has been a great venue for batting where teams have chased down big totals in international and domestic T20s. Both teams have a strong middle order along with all-rounders adding depth to their lineup.
It will be a close contest between the two sides. The table toppers are keen on turning things around in this game. They’ve got a strong batting lineup but the second-placed Scorchers have a stronger bowling attack. The toss will play a key role in this match but PRS Women, due to their bowling strength and experienced players in the batting order, will have a slight edge going into this match.
