TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Thunder Preview
Sydney Thunder Women will be looking to remain at the top of the table as they enter the business end of the tournament. They have just two matches remaining in the group stage and even one win in one of them should help them stay in the top two.
Opener Georgia Voll has been their star batter this year, amassing 288 runs in just 8 innings at an average of 41.14 and a strike rate of 147.
Phoebe Litchfield has led from the front with 251 runs in 8 innings.
Among the bowlers, Samantha Bates has stood out with 17 wickets in 8 innings at an economy of 6.42. Chamari Athapaththu, Shabnim Ismail, and Hannah Darlington have also been regular wicket-takers and are worth backing.

Melbourne Stars Preview
Melbourne Stars Women have managed just 4 points from seven games, and with just three matches left in the group stage, they need a spectacular turnaround from here to make it to the playoffs.
The batters haven’t been consistent this season for the Stars. Yastika Bhatia tops the batting charts with 154 runs in 6 innings at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 105.
Meg Lanning, Annabel Sutherland, and Rhys McKenna have done well in patches, but their inconsistency has hurt the team.
The bowling unit has been led by Kim Garth, who has 9 wickets in 7 innings at an economy of 6.61. Sophie Day, Marizanne Kapp, and Annabel Sutherland have 19 wickets between them, but their bowling attack still lacks someone who can deliver match-winning spells.
Key Players: Yastika Bhatia, Annabel Sutherland, Kim Garth
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing XI:
Yastika Bhatia (wk), Annabel Sutherland (c), Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Tess Flintoff, Rhys McKenna, Deepti Sharma, Kim Garth, Sasha Moloney, Maisy Gibson, Sophie Day

Winning Prediction
Sydney Thunder Women and Melbourne Stars Women have had contrasting fortunes this WBBL season and are at opposite ends in the points table. The Thunder have lost just two games this season and look to have most bases covered. The Stars, meanwhile, have struggled in both departments and are down on confidence after losing four consecutive matches. Thus, we reckon Sydney Thunder are favorites to win this clash.
