STW vs MLSW Match Prediction & Analysis
Sydney Thunder will take on Melbourne Stars at the North Sydney Oval where they’ve won two in two games so far. It was at this venue that Melbourne Stars won their opening match against Sixers defending a 165-run total.
SYT and MLS went head to head just a few days ago in Melbourne where Thunder Women restricted the Stars to just 123 for 5 bowling first. In response, SYT chased it down in 13 Overs and 9 wickets in hand.
Sydney Thunder continued their good run of form with a 200+ runs score batting first in the very next game at the North Sydney Oval against Brisbane Heat.
Heather Knight will be confident coming into this match given her own form along with other key players who are delivering consistently. Meg Lanning’s Stars are struggling to put a decent total on the board and need their top 4 batters to start firing.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Thunder Preview
After winning 3 matches on the trot, Sydney Thunder were up against Hobart Hurricanes in their last match which was abandoned due to rain. They would have liked to settle scores with Hurricanes who had defeated them earlier in the league.
The batting has been top-notch from SYT Women. It is quite a batting-friendly surface here at the North Sydney Oval where Sydney Thunder won by a narrow margin while defending 204 runs against Brisbane.
The opening batters in this lineup, Tahlia Wilson and Chamari Athapaththu are in fine touch and are among the top run-scorers for Sydney Thunder. These two are crucial in setting up the stage for a big total.
In the middle-order, there is the experience of skipper Heather Knight and all-rounder Marizanne Kapp. The two are ideal for their batting positions in this lineup and will be the key batters to watch out for.
In the bowling attack, there is only Hannah Darlington who’s been consistent with wickets while the likes of Samantha Bates and Marizanne Kapp have struggled to find breakthroughs.
Sydney Thunder have won both of their matches at this venue while batting first and should be confident coming into this match as they face Stars for the second time this year.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
Chamari Athapaththu, Tahlia Wilson (wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Heather Knight (c), Marizanne Kapp, Anika Learoyd, Olivia Porter, Claire Moore, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Samantha Bates
Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:
Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Heather Knight, Phoebe Litchfield, Chamari Atapattu, Marizanne Kapp, Sammy Jo Johnson, Tahlia Wilson, Hannah Darlington, Lauren Smith, Samantha Bates
Melbourne Stars Preview
Meg Lanning must be looking for ways to turn things around for the Stars in Women’s Big Bash League 2023. They are sitting at number 7 in the points table with just 2 wins from 8 matches so far.
They must win every game from here to bounce back and compete for a spot in the top 4. And it will not be an easy task for Melbourne Stars who’ve lost their last 3 consecutive matches which includes one against Sydney Thunder.
Skipper Meg Lanning and Alice Capsey are the two key players in the Stars’ top order. Capsey has a crucial role to play at number 3 while Lanning needs to get her side off to a flying start alongside Sophia Dunkley or Sophie Reid.
After being the opening partner for Lanning, Reid was replaced by Dunkley in the last match who was out for a golden duck. The openers haven’t been in good touch and are struggling to get going at the top.
Capsey is a promising player at number 3 but her returns haven’t been any good either. Annabel Sutherland and Maia Boucher at 4 and 5 will have all eyes on them.
Since the top-order has let down time and again, it will be up to the middle-order now to step up and lead the side to a competitive score.
There is hope in the bowling department with Kim Garth, Sohpie Day, and Annabel Sutherland being in good touch. These three are reliable with the ball and have been consistent with their returns.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Meg Lanning (c), Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Annabel Sutherland, Maia Bouchier, Nicole Faltum (wk), Kim Garth, Sasha Moloney, Rhys McKenna, Sophie Day, Milly Illingworth

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a batting-friendly surface at the North Sydney Oval where the bowlers have also found help at times. Nonetheless, batters will have the upper hand on this surface with the ball coming onto the bat nicely allowing them to time their strokes to perfection. The weather will be mostly sunny with a high of 24 degrees Celsius in Sydney on the match day.
STW vs MLSW Pitch Report
North Sydney Oval in Sydney will be the venue for this clash. It is a great venue for batting where the average 1st innings score is 155 runs in women’s domestic T20s. We reckon a total of 175-190 should be a match-winning score in this match.
Toss: To Bat
It is a good batting surface and we reckon having runs on the board will be an advantage here. Melbourne Stars aren’t in their best touch with the bat and will prefer to defend a total with an in-form bowling attack while SYT will back themselves to put on a massive total on the board and put the opposition on the backfoot.
STW vs MLSW
Winning Prediction
The second-placed Thunder take on a struggling Melbourne Stars. Stars will be hopeful of a comeback with their bowlers leading from the front. However, the hosts are in top gear with their batting and will pose a tough challenge. Stars haven’t got any reliable batters in their lineup and that puts them far behind Sydney Thunder in this contest. SYT Women will start as clear favorites in our match prediction.
