TEAMS PREVIEW

Perth Scorchers Preview

Perth Scorchers are coming off a comfortable 36-run win against Sydney Sixers Women. Batting first at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth, they posted 166-8 on the board and restricted the Sixers to 130-9. 

While Perth’s batters haven’t really burst into the batting charts, they are doing the job. The experienced batters Beth Mooney (161 runs in 5 innings at an average of 32.20) and Sophie Devine (159 runs in 5 innings at 39.75) have led the batting unit irably. These two are reliable, and we expect at least one of them to shine in this game.

Another batter to keep an eye out on is Maddy Darke, who has scored 108 runs so far at an average of 27.

Perth’s bowlers have been excellent, with almost everyone being among the wickets. The standout performers have been Amy Louise Edgar (9 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 6.53) and Alana King (8 wickets in 5 innings at 6.88). Chloe Ainsworth has been amazing with the new ball too, and has already picked up 8 wickets in just 4 innings at 7.07.

Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:

Beth Mooney (wk), Chloe Piparo, Maddy Darke, Sophie Devine (c), Lisa Griffith, Amy Jones, Amy Louise Edgar, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Taneale Peschel, Chloe Ainsworth

Perth Scorchers Actual Playing XI:

Amy Edgar, Chloe Piparo, Lisa Griffith, Sophie Devine, Amy Jones, Beth Mooney, Maddy Darke, Alana King, Chloe Cathryn Ainsworth, Lilly Mills, Taneale Peschel

Melbourne Renegades Preview

Melbourne Renegades Women have now lost three games in a row. In their last match, they were thumped by 37 runs by Sydney Thunder Women. This was their fourth loss of the season in five games. The Renegades need to quickly get their campaign back on track, or else the season will go away from them soon.

Tammy Beaumont has been the standout batter for the Renegades this year, having scored 167 runs as the opener at an average of 33.40.

Georgia Wareham (138 runs in 4 innings at an average of 46) has been really impressive as well. With captain Hayley Matthews underperforming, there will be more pressure on Beaumont and Wareham to hold the batting unit together. 

While Matthews hasn’t gotten going with the bat, she has done a fantastic job with her off-spin, taking 8 wickets in 5 innings at an economy of 7.31. Wareham, too, has done well in her role as a leg spinner, with 8 wickets at 8.47.

That said, the Renegades’ bowling line-up doesn’t look threatening. They needed a potent pace attack who can do some damage with the new ball. Perth’s batters are unlikely to be too bothered by them on this pitch.

Melbourne Renegades Predicted Playing XI:

Hayley Matthews (c), Tammy Beaumont, Courtney Webb, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jess Duffin, Georgia Wareham, Josephine Dooley (wk), Georgia Prestwidge, Sarah Coyte, Rhiann O Donnell, Sara Kennedy

Melbourne Renegades Actual Playing XI:

Courtney Webb, Tammy Beaumont, Ella Hayward, Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Matthews, Josephine Dooley, Georgia Prestwidge, Georgia Wareham, Sarah Coyte, Emma De Broughe, Sara Kennedy

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth is known to have one of the fastest wickets in the world. However, over the years, it has become a lot better for batting. The ball still zips through, particularly under lights. But batters who apply themselves and get used to its pace can get a big score. Seamers, however, will get plenty of purchase off the wicket throughout.

The weather in Perth will be hot and sunny.

PRSW vs MRW Pitch Report

The average first inning score at the W.A.C.A. Ground is 135. The highest total posted at the venue is 199-0 by Sydney Sixers Women against Melbourne Stars Women in 2019. In the two matches played here, the first innings score are 158 and 166-8, respectively. The team batting first in this game should look to set a target of around 160-170 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

Batting second is usually the better option at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth. Out of the 29 women’s T20 games played here, 17 have been one by the chasing side. So, it’s likely that the team winning the toss in this match will field first.
