SS-W vs MS-W, WBBL 10: Winner Prediction for Match 9 [Source: @WBBL/x.com]
The Sydney Sixers will face the Melbourne Stars in the ninth match of the 10th edition of the Women’s Big Bash League. This match will be played at the North Sydney Oval on November 1 at 1:45 PM IST.
The Sydney Sixers made a commanding start to their campaign by registering a convincing win in their first match of the tournament. However, in the next game against the Strikers, the Sixers failed to maintain their momentum and lost the game from a winning position. The Ellyse Perry-led side has looked good in all the departments and will be looking to bounce back quickly and keep themselves in contention for the playoff spot.
The Stars have had a disappointing start to their season. In their first outing against the Scorchers, the bowling unit did a great job of restricting the opposition to just 122 runs. However, the batting failed to deliver, and they lost the match by 13 runs. The Stars will be looking to register their first win in this game and their campaign going.
