AS-W vs MS-W Dream11 Prediction — 4th Match WBBL 2026 Best Team, Captain & Vice-Captain Picks

AS-W vs MS-W Match Details — Match 04

The fourth WBBL 2026 match will be played at Adelaide's Karen Rolton Oval between the Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W) and the Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W). It's the Strikers' season opener and first home game. The Stars come off an 18-run victory over the reigning champions, the Hobart Hurricanes, at Junction Oval on Thursday night.

Tahlia McGrath's Strikers finished sixth in the WBBL 2025-26, with three wins, four losses, and three no results. They missed the finals by one run, losing to the Sydney Sixers on the last ball. This season, they are without Darcie Brown, who is out of the tournament due to a back injury. Megan Schutt is currently serving the second game of a two-game suspension, so the pace attack appears depleted. Meg Lanning has taken over as Stars captain from Annabel Sutherland, who stood down to focus on her game. In the opener, Lanning scored 71 off 52 balls, while Sutherland added 57 and took 3/34 in a total of 192/4.

AS-W vs MS-W — Karen Rolton Oval Pitch Report

Karen Rolton Oval provides a true, bat-friendly drop-in surface with consistent bounce and a quick outfield. Pacers may notice a little motion in the air with the new ball. As the ball ages, spinners come into play in middle overs. Strokemakers can freely score here, but controlled lengths are encouraged. Teams batting first have won more WBBL games at this venue, but chasing teams won twice last season. The highest total at the venue is 207, while the highest chase is 186.

Average Scores

AS-W vs MS-W Toss Prediction

The numbers favor batting first. However, with a 40% chance of showers, bowling first is the more comfortable option, as captains prefer to know the target if DLS comes into play.

Prediction: Adelaide Strikers Women to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

Adelaide Strikers Women vs Melbourne Stars Women Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Melbourne Stars Women have a slight advantage. They have momentum from a convincing win over the champions; Lanning and Sutherland are in form, and Garth, Dean, and Day provide attack pace and spin. They also defeated the Perth Scorchers at this venue last season. Ecclestone, Wellington, and Mushangwe make up the Strikers' stronger spin attack, and Wolvaardt and Bouchier form a dangerous opening pair. However, the loss of Schutt and Brown leaves them with inexperienced seamers and thin batting depth. With showers expected, a rain-affected game could favor whichever side takes early wickets.

Prediction: Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) to win.
