The WBBL 2025 progresses with Match No. 28, where Melbourne Renegades Women take on Melbourne Stars Women at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Saturday, November 29. This Melbourne derby is always exciting, and both teams will be eager to grab important points.
The Melbourne Renegades Women are third in the points table, having won four out of their seven matches and lost three.

The Melbourne Stars Women, meanwhile, have been in great form. They are currently second in the standings with four wins from five completed matches.

The Junction Oval has hosted three matches so far this season, with an average first-innings score of 147. Interestingly, all three games have been won by the chasing team, which means batting second has been the better option here.
