SYDW vs MLSW 6th Match Prediction

SYDW vs MLSW Team Previews

Sydney Sixers Women

The Sydney Sixers have made a great start to the season, winning each of its two opening matches. After beating the Brisbane Heat in a thriller in the opening match, the Sixers defeated Adelaide Strikers with relative ease in the last match. Choosing to bat first, the Sydney Sixers put up a target of 152 runs, thanks to a terrific second-wicket partnership of 131 runs between Suzie Bates and captain Ellyse Perry.

The Strikers fell short by 17 runs, allowing the Sixers to take the top spot. 

Ellyse Perry has easily been the pick of the batters and has been ably supported by the others in the top order, including Bates and Erin Burns. The bowling department meant too has performed well, with the left-arm orthodox spinner Sophie Ecclestone being particularly dangerous for the opposition. She, along with Maitlan Brown is likely to cause problems for  the Melbourne batters. 

Melbourne Stars Women

Melbourne Stars played some good cricket in its opening match against Brisbane Heat but ultimately fell short by 9 runs. Lauren Winfield-Hill, who had an excellent outing in The Hundred, scored a valiant 74 in that game and will be one player to watch out for during the rest of the season. All-rounder Alice Capsey too is expected to play a key role in this encounter, as she is known to be a busy scorer, and can also chip in with the ball if the need arises. 

Talking about the weaknesses, Melbourne batters are likely to struggle against the talented bowling lineup of the sixers. The departure of Lanning and Villani will significantly dent the Stars’ ability to score runs. In short, if the top order fails to fire, the Stars are likely to struggle in this game.
