TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Preview
Last season, Perth Scorchers Women performed commendably, concluding the group stage in second with 8 wins and 6 losses. Unfortunately, their journey ended in the Eliminator, where they faced a loss against Brisbane Heat.
The Scorchers have lost Natalie Sciver-Brunt, Lauren Winfield-Hill, and Taneale Peschel, but have made some interesting additions in Dayalan Hemalatha, Mikayla Hinkley (Heat), Ebony Hoskin (Thunder), Carly Leeson (Renegades), and Ni Made Putri Suwandewi (Associate rookie).
Sophie Devine and Dayalan Hemalatha will be unavailable for the beginning of WBBL|10 due to their participation in the ODI series between New Zealand and India. However, they are set to the competition for the remainder of the season.
In Devine’s absence, Perth will look for some solid contributions from Beth Mooney, Maddy Darke, and Amy Jones. Mooney was their top-scorer last season with 557 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 143.
On the bowling front, the Scorchers have reliable options in Amy Edgar, Alana King, and Chloe Ainsworth. These three shared a whopping 54 wickets between them last season and will be the team’s main bowling weapons in this match.
Key Players: Amy Jones, Beth Mooney, Alana King
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Chloe Piparo, Beth Mooney (c & wk), Maddy Darke, Amy Jones, Carly Leeson, Mikayla Hinkley, Amy Edgar, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Stella Campbell, Chloe Ainsworth

Melbourne Stars Preview
Melbourne Stars Women had a forgettable season in 2023, finishing second to last in the WBBL points table. They managed to secure victory in 6 out of 14 matches during the league phase, ultimately placing 7th with a total of 12 points.
Heading into the new season, the Stars feature a strong roster with notable players such as Australian captain and veteran Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland, and Deepti Sharma among their ranks. The Stars, however, will be without Indian players Yastika Bhatia and Deepti Sharma at the start of the tournament
The team will depend on Meg Lanning at the top of the order to score some solid runs. The veteran Australian batter is the most experienced player in the squad and was in form last season, amassing 284 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 120.
In Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp, they have two quality all-rounders, who are expected to contribute both with the bat and ball.
The duo of Sophie Day and Kim Garth are set to lead the bowling attack for the Stars. Last season, Day topped the team’s bowling charts with 27 wickets in 14 innings at an economy of 6.87.
Key Players: Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Olivia Henry, Meg Lanning, Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp, Tess Flintoff, Rhys McKenna, Sophie Reid (wk), Sasha Moloney, Kim Garth, Maisy Gibson, Sophie Day
Melbourne Stars Actual Playing XI:
Meg Lanning, Ines Mackeon , Sasha Moloney, Tess Flintoff, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Day, Maisy Gibson, Kim Garth, Rhys McKenna, Sophie Reid
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Once known as the fastest pitch in the world, the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth nowadays usually offers a pretty placid surface in domestic games. The deck still has good bounce and carry, but there is very little movement on offer. Batters will enjoy their time here on the first couple of days. Seamers will get some help too with the new ball and will have to use their variations when it gets older.
The weather in Perth during the match will be clear and warm. There is no chance of rain.
PRSW vs MLSW Pitch Report
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.
Toss: To Bowl
21 of the 36 games played at the W.A.C.A have been won by the chasing side. We reckon both teams will be looking to chase here.

Winning Prediction
Both Perth Scorchers Women and Melbourne Stars Women will be missing a few key players for their first game. Perth will sorely miss their captain and star player Sophie Devine. However, they still have a balanced squad, and playing at home they will start as favorites. Melbourne Stars heavily rely on their captain Meg Lanning to do the bulk of the scoring. If she and Marizanne Kapp get going, the Stars will be in with a chance. However, on paper, Perth Scorchers look stronger and have better balance. We are backing them to dominate this contest.
Perth Scorchers Women are favorites to win this match.
