PS-W vs MS-W Probable Winners:

The Perth Scorchers Women as well as Melbourne Stars Women will each be missing a few key players for the inaugural match. Perth will sorely miss their leader and star player, Sophie Devine. They still have an Equal squad, and when they play at home, they will be favorites. The Melbourne Stars rely heavily on their captain Meg Lanning to do the majority of the scoring. If she and Marizanne Kapp start working together, the Stars have a chance. However, on paper, the Perth Scorchers appear to be stronger and more balanced. We believe they will dominate this competition. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers-W is expected to win this match.

Melbourne Stars lost their first game and now have to contend without having Maxwell for the next game. Perth Scorchers had a tough time in the first game on a pitch that was unsafe enough for the game to be called off. Their batters though did do a decent job fighting that pitch with some crisp shots from Aaron Hardie.

MS vs PS Key Players

Josh Inglis

Josh Inglis is now an Australian regular and is probably the best wicket-keeper in the country at the moment. He is solid in the middle-order and a good tournament here could spice things up with T20 World Cup selection.

Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis has been inconsistent in recent times. He did not bowl in the first game and struggled with the bat too. With Maxwell out the Stars need him to step up to make things go forward.

MS vs PS Match Tips

Perth Scorchers are favorites with their record in the tournament.
