AS-W vs MS-W Dream11 : Languishing bottom of the table Melbourne Stars face third place Adelaide Strikers in a massive test for the side
Advertisement
The only side to have won just the singular match in the Women’s Big Bash League, for Melbourne Stars, the ongoing edition of the league is turning out to be a howler of a time. The side have offered nothing in the way of a challenge, a team which have made for a dismal viewing to be left in dismay and find themselves slumped in the trenches of the league standings.
Falling apart, the side know if they are to fulfil their ambitions of challenging for a spot in the echelons of the points tally, they need to snap out of this ordeal at the earliest. They were made a mockery of in the previous encounter, one which saw them first being dismantled with the bat and then further dismantled with the ball to go on and lose by 45 runs.
Playing against Sydney Sixers, the side ended up conceding 199 runs without being able to make a single breakthrough in their bowling sortie before eventually rumbling up for just 154. It was their fifth defeat in six matches, a result which doesn’t bode well for them as they get ready to face off against third placed Adelaide Strikers come today.
Adelaide Strikers themselves meanwhile faced their third defeat in their last match but it was a result which will not massively perturb them. The side were involved in an enthralling, edge of the seat thriller against Perth Scorchers, a match which saw them fall short by the barest of margins as they failed in their pursuit of 173 by just two runs as they faltered in the closing stages of the tie.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
This is as good a wicket as they come for batting with the team winning the toss set to come out and make the most of the batting conducive conditions over here. The ball takes no time in reaching the fence with a score of 170 a bare minimum if you have to have any chance of winning on this track.
