MS-W vs ST-W WBBL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's WBBL Match - Nov 28th, 2020
The final of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2020 features Melbourne Stars taking on Sydney Thunder at the North Sydney Oval on Saturday.
Melbourne Stars have been the team to beat in the WBBL this season, with Meg Lanning leading her troops admirably. With the likes of Elyse Villani and Natalie Sciver also coming up with the goods regularly, the Stars have shed their reputation of being perennial underachievers, as they stand just one win away from the WBBL trophy.
Their opponents, Sydney Thunder, have also been impressive in the competition, with Heather Knight and Rachael Haynes starring for the former WBBL champions.
The emergence of Hannah Darlington and Sam Bates has helped their cause in the bowling department, and Shabnim Ismail has been as economical as ever with the ball. The Thunder pulled off a heist in the WBBL semi-final against Brisbane Heat and will be brimming with confidence ahead of this all-important encounter.
Although both teams have momentum with them, the Stars are the clear favourites, given their superior batting strength. However, the Thunder are also well-equipped to spring a surprise, which should make for a great WBBL 2020 final on Saturday.

Pitch Report
Another high-scoring WBBL game beckons at the North Sydney Oval, as there could be not much help on offer for the bowlers off the surface.
The powerplay overs could be key to either side's fortunes in the WBBL final, as run-scoring could be easy against the brand new ball. Wickets in hand will once again be key at this venue, with the spinners coming into play in the middle overs.
150 runs should be a good total, and both sides are likely to chase after winning the toss.
