TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Thunder Preview
Sydney Thunder Women suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Brisbane Heat Women in their opening game. Batting first at the North Sydney Oval, Sydney Thunder got to 151-8. However, Brisbane chased down the target in just 12.2 overs with 9 wickets in hand.
Georgia Voll top-scored for Sydney with a well-made 42 off 25 balls. Anika Learoyd held the innings together with a solid 39 off 31 balls.
Skipper Tahlia Wilson failed in the first game, but we are backing her to do well here. She has been in great form coming into this tournament with scores of 39, 47, 97, and 48
Sydney’s bowling, unfortunately, looks a little weak and is short on experience. Sammy-Jo Johnson will lead the attack as she is their main in-form bowler. Georgia Adams too could pick up a couple of wickets here. The likes of Taneale Peschel and Hannah Darlington are likely to go for runs again.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
Tahlia Wilson (c & wk), Georgia Voll, Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Georgia Adams, Hannah Darlington, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Taneale Peschel, Jade Allen, Ella Briscoe, Ebony Hoskin

Melbourne Stars Preview
Melbourne Stars Women come into this game after a big 38-run loss to ACT Meteors. That huge loss means now their NRR stands at a poor -1.900.
In their first game, Melbourne Stars bowled impressively to restrict ACT Meteors to 147-4 at North Sydney. However, their batters simply weren’t up to the task and crumpled under pressure, eventually being bundled out for just 109.
Melbourne Stars are largely dependent on Meg Lanning to provide them with a solid start. The veteran Australian batter has a great T20 record and will be eager to make an impact.
Sophie Reid, the talented wicket-keeper batter, has been performing exceptionally well this season, consistently posting solid scores in the Women’s National Cricket League. We’re confident she’ll bring that momentum into this tournament and a big score is just around the corner.
Among the bowlers, watch out for Rhys McKenna and Sophie Day, both of whom took two wickets apiece in the previous game.
Sasha Moloney and Maisy Gibson are reliable options too to keep the run rate in check.
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Meg Lanning, Olivia Henry, Sophie Reid (wk), Mia Perrin, Tess Flintoff, Sasha Moloney (c), Rhys McKenna, Zoe Samuel, Sophie Day, Maisy Gibson, Holly Spencer

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
This is a new stadium, built just a few months ago. So not much is known about its character. However, it’s likely to behave like a typical Australian surface with a good amount of pace and movement off the pitch. It should be good for batting once it settles down a little.
The weather in Mosman will be cloudy and breezy for most of the day. However, there is no threat of rain, and we should get a full match.
STW vs MLSW Pitch Report
Like most Australian grounds, the Allan Border Oval in Mosman should offer a good batting surface. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 150-160 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
This will be the first match to be played at the Allan Border Oval in Mosman. With the weather likely to be cloudy and breezy, the team winning the toss might opt to field first.
STW vs MLSW
Winning Prediction
The T20 Spring Challenge hasn’t been kind to either Sydney Thunder Women or Melbourne Stars Women, as both teams have experienced early defeats. Currently, Sydney sit at the bottom of the table, grappling with a dismal net run rate of -5.180. However, history is on the Thunder's side, as they’ve triumphed over the Stars 11 out of 14 times in past confrontations. Their batting is formidable, but a weak bowling attack could lead to more trouble. Nevertheless, we believe the Sydney Thunder will bounce back and secure a win in this matchup.
Back Sydney Thunder Women as the winners of this match.
