With both of today’s opponents struggling in the trenches of the women’s Big Bash League, the fallout from a defeat for either side could all but spell their demise in the league today. Both of Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars have endured horrid and torrid outings in the league, struggling to wrench out of their ordeal to find themselves slumped in the dearth of the points tally.
For Melbourne Stars in particular, this edition of the league has been one the side would just be wanting to put behind them, such has been the appalling and abject brand of cricket the side have partaken in. With a mere two wins from nine matches, the side find themselves firmly planted in last position, a position which looks unmovable for them with the side needing to cover a massive deficit.
What will give them some glimmer of a chance of coming out unscathed from today’s encounter is the fact that they managed to salvage a win from their foregone contest. It was not just a win for them though with the side putting down their arch rivals, Melbourne Renegades in a stunning result, a performance which was completely opposing to the kind of cricket they have revelled us in till now.
Stepping out to chase 166, a target which would have no other days proved to be hazardous for them, the side managed to squirm their way through to a win by 7 wickets after their top-order stepped up in tandem to imbed in place a succulent performance. Elsewhere, Sydney Thunder managed to defeat Adelaide Strikers in a humdinger of a contest, a match which went right down to the super over after both the sides ended up level on 161.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
Although this is the first match of the league to be contested over here, the previous encounters clearly allude to what is going to be in store for us today. This is an exceptional batting track, one where the ball comes onto the bat perfectly and with the track set to maintain its shape all across the full 40 overs, the side winning the toss is set to come out and chase today.
