It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Melbourne Stars Women, who come out marginally ahead at 51%.

Melbourne Stars Women come in with the better form, having won three of their last five games, while Melbourne Renegades Women have won two of their last five. They know these conditions, with two wins from four games at this venue, compared with two from five for Melbourne Renegades Women. That said, Melbourne Renegades Women lead the head-to-head record 2-1, which is why this is far from a sure thing.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 145, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

MLR-W vs MLS-W Pitch Report

Junction Oval, Melbourne

This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Junction Oval are usually on the low side.

Across the last 10 WT20 matches here, the side batting first has averaged 148, with chasing teams averaging 120. A score of 140-155 looks like par on this surface. Chasing has been the smarter option, with the side batting second winning 6 of the last 9 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 124/9 (PRS-W, won), 192/4 (MLS-W, won), 138/9 (MLR-W, lost), 150 (MLR-W, lost), 112 (ADS-W, lost). Recent games have followed the usual pattern, with the last 5 first innings averaging 143. First-innings totals here have ranged from 112 to 192 in that time.

This has been a seamers' ground: pace bowlers have taken 69% of the wickets here (20 of 29). Seamers have gone at 7.80 an over and spinners at 6.78, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Whoever wins the toss should be tempted to field first.
