Women's Big Bash League 2022, Match 40, Melbourne Stars Women vs Sydney Sixers Women: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Match 40 of the Women’s Big Bash League 2022 will see Melbourne Stars Women take on the Sydney Sixers Women at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Saturday.

Melbourne Stars Women are really struggling in this year’s competition. They have managed to win just two games out of eight and have only six points to their name. They suffered a five-wicket defeat at the hands of the Adelaide Strikers Women in their previous fixture.

After being asked to bat first, the Stars' Annabel Sutherland top-scored with 47 to help her team post 112 on the board at the expense of eight wickets. Sutherland picked up two wickets too, but the Stars Women failed to defend the total. They will now have to fire in unison to challenge the Sixers Women in their next clash.

The Sydney Sixers Women, meanwhile, are sitting in second position in the points table. They have won six out of nine games and have 13 points under their belt. Their last game against Melbourne Renegades was washed out due to rain.

Bowling first, the Sixers Women restricted the Renegades Women to 64/1 in 11 overs before rain arrived. No further play was possible and the two sides shared a point each. They will look to go to the top of the table by beating the Stars Women on Saturday.
