MLS-W vs SYS-W Prediction: Who Will Win?

Who do you think will win?

1 votes

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

They also have the upper hand over Sydney Sixers Women, winning 2 of the 2 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. They know these conditions, with two wins from four games at this venue, compared with no from one for Sydney Sixers Women. That said, Sydney Sixers Women have the better recent form (four wins from their last five games, to three from five for Melbourne Stars Women), and Sydney Sixers Women are higher in the table (2nd to 5th), 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.

MLS-W vs SYS-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. Anything in the 140-155 range should make a competitive total. 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.

The forecast shows a 51% chance of rain, which brings DLS into the picture. With humidity around 68% later in the evening, dew is likely to make the ball skid on and harder to grip in the second innings. With cloud expected, the new ball could do a bit, so the top order will need to be careful. Toss call: bowl first and chase.
