Adelaide Strikers-W vs Melbourne Stars-W Chance of Winning

Adelaide Strikers Women finished the 2024 season of the T20 Spring Challenge in fourth position in the points table. They registered two wins and were fortunate to qualify for the knockouts on the better net run rate. The Striekers lost the semifinal game against Brisbane Heat by one wicket and on the last ball of the match. They also lost their captain and the last season’s one of the top performers, Katie Mack, in the trade.

On the other hand, Melbourne Stars Women finished the last season in third position in the points table with three wins in the league stages. Their semifinal game against Hobart Hurricanes was abandoned due to rain, and the latter were announced winners based on group standings. The Stars have strengthened their squad by signing English international Danielle Gibson, one of the two overseas stars in this tournament. They have also traded in Georgia Prestwidge and Ella Hayward to bolster their all-round options and will be firm favorites in the title bid this season.

Adelaide Strikers-W vs Melbourne Stars-W Betting Odds

Melbourne Stars Women to have a better opening partnership than Adelaide Strikers Women

Melbourne Stars openers Rhys McKenna and Meg Lanning were impressive at the top last season. Lanning, in particular, has been one of the best openers of this generation and is in good form in T20 cricket lately. On the other hand, Adelaide Strikers will form a new opening partnership this season after the departure of captain Katie Mack. Ellie Johnston and Eleanor Larosa are likely to open an innings for the Strikers. Considering the recent form of both teams’ openers, the Melbourne Stars Women are expected to have a better opening partnership than the Adelaide Strikers Women in this T20 match.

Meg Lanning to be Melbourne Stars-W's top batter

The 33-year-old opener has a proven track record at the top in T20 cricket. Lanning was the only cricketer for her team to reach the 100-run mark last season. She smashed 131 runs in just four innings at an amazing strike rate of 139.36. She displayed her thirst for the big knocks by smashing an unbeaten 92 runs against the Sydney Sixers.

Adelaide Strikers-W vs Melbourne Stars-W Top Bowlers

Eleanor Larosa to be Adelaide Strikers-W’s top bowler

The 19-year-old left-arm pacer made a name for herself with the ball last season. Larosa failed to impress with the bat but displayed her wicket-taking skills and pace on the big stage. She picked up nine wickets in nine wickets in five innings at an economy rate of 7.05 to finish just behind Nicola Hancock in the bowling charts. Larosa is expected to lead the bowling attack for the Strikers once again this season.

Sophie Day to be Melbourne Stars-W’s top bowler

The 27-year-old slow left-arm orthodox spinner was the key behind Melbourne Stars’ top-four finish last season.

She was the leading wicket-taker for her team and also boasted an impressive economy rate of 7.75.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Melbourne Stars-W

Both Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars made it to the knockout stages last season. The Stars were unfortunate to be eliminated after their semifinal match was abandoned due to rain. There is nothing much to differentiate between the two teams, but the stars will be ahead in this battle due to an international experience of Meg Lanning’s and Danielle Gibson’s. Considering both teams’ squad strength and last season’s form, Melbourne Stars Women are likely to beat Adelaide Strikers Women in this fixture.
