Both sides have had contrasting journeys thus far and will be looking to strengthen their spots on the table.

After their three losses in a row at the start of the season, they have come back very strongly, winning the last two games on the trot against Perth Scorchers Women and Brisbane Heat Women.

The Melbourne Renegades Women, the defending champions, are sitting at second place with three wins and two losses.

ST-W vs MR-W: Pitch Report

Drummoyne Oval typically presents a good balance of conditions for batters and bowlers alike. Batters can score freely once they settle in but bowlers who assess conditions well will see good movement and bounce. Powerplay overs will play an important role for both teams, as fast runs early set up the innings. Evening conditions may assist bowlers slightly more.
