The Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2024 continues with Match 35, where Hobart Hurricanes Women (HB-W) face off against Melbourne Renegades Women (MR-W) at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, on November 21. Both teams have had contrasting fortunes in their last games, making this an exciting contest.

Hobart Hurricanes Women

Hobart Hurricanes Women are currently fourth on the points table, with four wins and four losses from eight matches. They’re coming off a tough 38-run loss to Adelaide Strikers Women, where their batting performance was a major letdown.

After opting to bowl first, the Hurricanes did a decent job with the ball. Amy Smith was the standout, picking 3/18 in her four overs, while Kathryn Bryce chipped in with 2/32. They restricted Adelaide to 140/7, a manageable target on most days.

However, their batting fell apart. Captain Elyse Villani tried to hold things together with a gritty 44, but she didn’t get much support. Nicola Carey (16) and Suzie Bates (15) were the only others to touch double digits, while key batter Lizelle Lee managed just 8.

With Bryce, Heather Graham, and Chloe Tryon all failing to contribute, the Hurricanes were bowled out for a disappointing 102. They’ll need a much better effort with the bat to get back to winning ways.

Melbourne Renegades Women

Melbourne Renegades Women are sitting pretty at second on the WBBL points table with five wins and three losses. They’re coming off a solid 9-run win over city rivals Melbourne Stars Women, a game where their middle and lower order stepped up big time.

The Renegades posted 170/6 after a shaky start. The top order struggled, with Hayley Matthews (11), Ella Hayward (0), Alice Capsey (8), and Naomi Stalenberg (11) failing to make an impact.

But wicketkeeper Nicole Faltum played a match-winning knock, smashing an unbeaten 66 off 42 balls. Georgia Wareham (34 off 32) and Georgia Prestwidge (23 off 9) added crucial runs at the end. With the ball, the Renegades delivered a strong team performance.

Skipper Matthews, Deandra Dottin, and Sarah Coyte each rose to the occasion by snagging two wickets, whereas Charis Bekker and Wareham bagged one scalp apiece. Courtesy of this brilliant bowling effort, the Renegades managed to restrict the Stars to 161/8 and clinched a hard-fought win. They will look to continue their strong form and maintain their stronghold at the top of the table.
