The sixth match of the Women’s Big Bash League 2022 will see Sydney Sixers Women take on the Melbourne Stars Women at Ray Mitchell Oval, Harrup Park in Mackay on Sunday (October 16)
Sydney Sixers Women are on a roll in this year’s competition. They have played two games and won both. The side will be high on confidence after beating Adelaide Strikers Women in their previous fixture.
Batting first against the Strikers, the Sixers Women posted 151 on the board, thanks to contributions from Suzie Bates (82*) and Ellyse Perry (58). The bowlers then stepped up and restricted Adelaide Strikers Women to 134 to win the game by 17 runs. Sophie Ecclestone finished with figures of 4/17.
Melbourne Stars Women, meanwhile, didn’t have the best of starts to the competition. They faced Brisbane Heat Women in their opening fixture and suffered a loss in a closely-fought contest.
The Stars bowler struggled to keep a check on the scoring rate as Brisbane Heat Women posted 179 on the board. Lauren Winfield-Hill (74) and Annabel Sutherland (45) tried hard for the Stars. However, a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in the side falling nine runs short of the target. The Stars have to fire in unison against the high-flying Sixers Women in their next game.
