Who do you think will win?

Tap a team to vote.

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 one wins from one game at this venue, compared with two from five 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 (1st 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.
