PS-W vs MR-W Dream11 Prediction — 5th Match, WBBL 2026 Best Team, Captain & Vice-Captain Picks

PS-W vs MR-W Match Details — Match 05

The Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) and Melbourne Renegades Women (MR-W) will face off in the fifth game of the WBBL 2026 at Perth's historic WACA Ground. This is the season opener for the powerful Scorchers, who finished third last year and lost a close final to the Hobart Hurricanes.
The Scorchers have a heavyweight core, led by powerful keeper-bat Beth Mooney and legendary Kiwi all-rounder Sophie Devine. Meanwhile, Sophie Molineux leads the Melbourne Renegades Women as they look to rebuild. The Renegades, bolstered by foreign talents Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin, as well as Australian international Georgia Wareham, have immense firepower, but face a daunting task when they play the Scorchers at home.

PS-W vs MR-W — W.A.C.A. Ground Pitch Report

The WACA Ground's surface is one of the world's fastest, hardest, and bounciest cricket pitches. It has genuine pace, carry, and bounce, which benefits new-ball seamers early in the innings. Once batters have survived the initial spell, the quick outfield and consistent bounce allow for free-flowing strokeplay. Spinners come into play in the middle overs, when the ball softens.

• Win Batting First: 48%

• Win Bowling First: 52%

• Best Suited For: Pace (55%)

Average Scores

• Average 1st Innings: 148

• Average 2nd Innings: 133

PS-W vs MR-W Toss Prediction

The WACA numbers lean marginally toward bowling first, and with the Fremantle Doctor sea breeze expected in the afternoon, the new-ball bowlers will get extra swing under clear skies. However, a par score of 140-150 is defendable if the early wickets flow.

Prediction: Perth Scorchers Women to win the toss and opt to bowl first.

Perth Scorchers Women vs Melbourne Renegades Women Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Perth Scorchers Women have a clear advantage because they play at home on a fast-paced surface that suits their attacking style. Mooney's consistency at high levels, Devine's all-round power, and King's middle-overs control make the Scorchers a well-balanced team. Their head-to-head record is emphatic, with 15 victories in 22 WBBL meetings, and five of the last six. The Renegades have key players in Matthews, Dottin, and Wareham, but their batting meltdown against the Thunder in the opener is a concern. They face a tough new-ball spell from Devine, Ainsworth, and Sana on the fastest surface in the country.

Prediction: Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) to win.
