The Women’s Big Bash League 2025 continues with Match No. 13, where Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) lock horns against Melbourne Renegades Women (MR-W) on Sunday, November 16 at Junction Oval, Melbourne. This is one of the most entertaining rivalries in the league, as both squads have a closely battled head-to-head record.

The Melbourne Stars Women have had a mixed start to their season because of rain interruptions. Their first match was abandoned after they scored 184/5, but rain stopped the Adelaide Strikers’ chase early. Their next match against the Perth Scorchers Women was also affected by rain, but this time the Stars managed to win. With three points from two matches, the Stars will look to build on their good start and add more points on Sunday. 

The Melbourne Renegades Women started their campaign with back-to-back wins by chasing down the targets set by the Brisbane Heat Women and Sydney Thunder Women. They failed to keep the winning streak going as they lost the last game to the Adelaide Strikers Women by seven wickets. The Renegades will be desperate to get on track once again in this crucial encounter.

MS-W vs MR-W: Pitch Report

The pitch at the Junction Oval is known for being friendly for batters. Players who stay at the crease for some time can score freely. Fast bowlers are unlikely to get much movement from the surface, so they will need to rely on accuracy. Captains winning the toss usually prefer to bowl first, as the pitch stays flat and becomes even better for batting in the second innings.
