MR-W vs PS-W Preview: Melbourne Renegades Women
Melbourne Renegades went down against Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat in their first couple of matches of the WBBL 2024 season. As of now, Sophie Molineux and co. are placed at the bottom of the eight-team points table. The Renegades need to capitalise their home advantage by defeating Perth Scorchers in their upcoming game in a bid to climb higher on the standings.
Dashing all-rounder Georgia Wareham has turned out to be the biggest standout performer from Melbourne Renegades this season so far, considering the 25-year-old has cracked the highest number of runs as well as snapped the most wickets for her team. The likes of Courtney Webb, Alice Capsey and captain Molineux herself need to complement Wareham’s all-round brilliance for Renegades’ brighter fortunes.
MR-W vs PS-W Preview: Perth Scorchers Women
Perth Scorchers Women won their low-scoring thriller against Melbourne Stars at home earlier this season to register their opening points on the WBBL 2024 table. Chloe Ainsworth delivered a ‘Player of the Match’ winning performance for her team by taking two key wickets with the ball, shortly after making a handy 10 on a difficult surface during the slog overs.
Captain Beth Mooney, Amy Jones and middle-order batter Chloe Piparo all came up clutch with the bat on a challenging wicket to push the Scorchers total to 122. Later in the game, each of the six utilised bowlers chipped in with wickets, with Alana King being the pick of them with figures of 3-20. As of now, the Perth Scorchers are ranked fourth on the standings.
