We are backing Perth Scorchers Women with some confidence. At 63% to win, they are strong favourites, and Melbourne Stars Women will need their best game to cause an upset.
They also have the upper hand over Melbourne Stars Women, winning 2 of the 2 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. Their results this season back this up: Perth Scorchers Women are 3rd in the table, Melbourne Stars Women 5th.
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 140, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
