Match No. 39 of the WBBL 2025 will see Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) face Brisbane Heat Women (BH-W) on Saturday, December 6, at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth. This is the second match of the Saturday double-header.

The Perth Scorchers Women have had an up-and-down season so far. With five wins and four losses from their nine matches, they sit right on the edge of the playoff spots. They cannot afford to slip now. In their previous game, the Scorchers defeated the Melbourne Renegades Women by 30 runs, keeping themselves alive in the playoff race. They will need another strong performance to stay in control of their qualification chances.

Brisbane Heat Women, meanwhile, are still searching for their first win of the season. The team has struggled heavily, especially with key batter Jemimah Rodrigues unavailable. Although Brisbane are already out of the playoff race, they will aim to end their season on a positive note. They can still spoil the Scorchers’ chances and impact the final league standings.
