Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) and Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) are all set to clash in Match 3 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2024 at the WACA Ground in Perth on Sunday, October 27. Both teams are eager to hit the ground running, making this a must-watch contest.

Scorchers Aim to Start With A Win

The Scorchers Women had a decent run last season as they ended up second in the league stage before falling short in the Challenger against Brisbane Heat. Last season’s top run-scorer Beth Mooney will take the reins as captain. Regular skipper Sophie Devine and Indian batter Hemalatha Dayalan are absent due to international commitments. 

Fans could see three new faces Carly Leeson, Ebony Hoskin, and Ni Made Putri Suwandewi debut in the match. The squad also welcomes back Amy Edgar and Chloe Ainsworth, who look fit and ready after recovering from minor injuries. The Scorchers will be focused on getting off to a flying start.

Stars Look To Put on a Better Show

It was a season to forget for the Melbourne Stars Women as they finished seventh with six wins and eight losses. However, a new chapter will commence for them under the leadership of Annabel Sutherland.

The Stars has a squad filled with talent and experience with players like Marizanne Kapp, Meg Lanning, Kim Garth, Tess Flintoff, and Sophie Day ready to make their mark. With a team and Annabel Sutherland at the helm, the Stars will look to make a statement and start their campaign on the right foot.

How Will the Adelaide Oval's Pitch Behave?

The WACA is famous for its pace and bounce, and it offers plenty of excitement for both batters and pacers. With a quick outfield and a flat surface in recent years, the runs are expected to flow thick and fast. Pacers will need to make the most of the new ball and exploit the bounce early on.
