TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Women Preview
The runners-up of last season, the Perth Scorchers Women, lost the final against the Hobart Hurricanes Women in a rather one-sided contest, where they posted 137 runs and conceded the target in 15 overs.
Beth Mooney had one of the best seasons as a batter in the WBBL, scoring 549 runs in 13 innings at an average of 45.75. She has also been appointed captain of the side, taking over from Sophie Devine, who scored 235 runs in the middle order at a strike rate close to 120 and played a pivotal role with the ball by claiming 15 wickets.
Katie Mack has been a mainstay at the top of the order, having scored 297 runs in 13 matches last season. In the recent T20 Spring Challenge, she scored 201 runs in six matches; her rich vein of form heading into this fixture makes the Scorchers' top order a force to be reckoned with. Mikayla Hinkley is another valuable addition and an in-form batter, having scored 176 runs in her last five matches.
The addition of Fatima Sana brings power-hitting in the death overs, which adds much-needed depth, while her opening spell with the new ball will be key to breaking through the Renegades' top order. Freya Kemp, who made a name for herself as a power-hitter for England, scored 193 runs last season at a strike rate of 150; she also provides left-arm seam bowling, adding variety to the attack.
Bowling might be a slight concern for the Scorchers Women, especially their young pace attack. Chloe Ainsworth, who chipped in with 13 wickets last season, will be the player to watch. The Scorchers may deploy Alana King, Lilly Mills, and Amy Edgar, three spinners who can use the extra bounce of the W.A.C.A surface and the longer boundaries to their advantage.
Perth Scorchers Women Predicted Playing XI:
Beth Mooney (C & wk), Sophie Devine, Katie Mack, Mikayla Hinkley, Fatima Sana, Freya Kemp, Alana King, Lilly Mills, Amy Edgar, Chloe Ainsworth, Ebony Hoskin/Ruby Strange

Melbourne Renegades Women Preview
The Melbourne Renegades Women began their season with a disappointing six-wicket loss against the Sydney Thunder Women in the season opener on Thursday at the Junction Oval.
They lost the toss and were put in to bat by the Thunder Women. Openers Courtney Webb (22 runs) and Hayley Matthews (45 runs) added 56 runs in 7.2 overs for the first wicket—a solid start that was soon derailed by a sluggish knock from skipper Sophie Molineux, who managed just 7 runs off 13 balls.
Her inability to rotate the strike mounted pressure on Matthews to take risks to lift the scoring rate, leading to Matthews' dismissal shortly before Molineux herself fell, leaving the team in trouble at 84/3 after 12 overs.
Georgia Wareham provided some stability with 23 off 19 balls, but she could not bat through to the end. Chloe Tryon, Tess Flintoff, Deandra Dottin, and Nicole Faltum all fell in rapid succession as the innings collapsed from 117/4 to 119/9 in the space of nine deliveries. Annie Wikman and Tayla Vlaeminck then added 19 runs off 16 balls for the tenth wicket to push the total to 138/9.
Defending the below-par score, the Renegades never looked in control. The Thunder attacked right from the outset and chased down the target in just 16 overs. Tayla Vlaeminck produced a fine bowling spell, taking 2 for 23 while bowling with express pace and clocking around 125 km/h.
The Renegades Women possess genuine raw pace that should come in handy on the fast and bouncy surface at the W.A.C.A Ground, though their bowling unit faces a stern test against the powerful batting lineup of the Scorchers.
Melbourne Renegades Women Predicted Playing XI:
Courtney Webb, Hayley Matthews, Sophie Molineux (c), Tess Flintoff, Georgia Wareham, Nicole Faltum (wk), Chloe Tryon, Deandra Dottin, Annie Wikman, Milly Illingworth, Tayla Vlaeminck

Average Turn
The surface at the W.A.C.A offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers, where the average 1st innings score is around 141 runs in the 48 WBBL matches played, while the average 2nd innings score is 130. Matches at this venue often go down the wire and pacers are the most effective ones than spinners who dictate the flow of the match. Since it is the first match of the season here expect a fresh hard track favouring the batters a bit more and score of around 170 -180 could be par.
Toss: To Bowl
It has been even stevens across the 48 WBBL matches played at the W.A.C.A Ground, with the team batting first winning 23 matches, while the team bowling first has won 24 matches. Four of the last seven matches played at the W.A.C.A between the Scorchers and Renegades were won by the team batting first, while the team chasing won three.
However, looking at the overall record between these two sides, 16 of the 22 matches have been won by the chasing side. With this match being played under lights, conditions are likely to improve for batting as the contest progresses, meaning the team that wins the toss will probably look to bowl first.
Toss Prediction: Perth Scorchers Women to win the coin toss.
PRSW vs MRW
Winning Prediction
The Perth Scorchers Women enter this contest as favorites to win. They remain undefeated against the Renegades Women since the 2024 season, having won their last three meetings; furthermore, the Renegades Women have won just one of the nine matches they have played at the W.A.C.A Ground. Considering both teams' depth in batting and bowling, alongside their recent form, the Scorchers definitely hold the edge, and we back them to win this match and kick off their season on a winning note.
