Brisbane Heat-W vs Melbourne Stars-W Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Brisbane Heat Women captain, Charli Knott, produced the player of the match performance in the last match against the Perth Scorchers. She clinched two wickets while conceding just 13 runs off her four-over spell while bowling first. Knott also scored a crucial 19 runs while opening and claimed two catches to walk away as the best all-rounder on the pitch. Knott had scored 110 runs and taken six wickets to lead Brisbane Heat to the final in the 2024 edition.

Sasha Moloney, the 33-year-old bowling all-rounder, was the best performer for Melbourne Stars in their first two games this season. Moloney smashed an unbeaten 35 runs off 22 balls and claimed two wickets to display her all-round skills in the first match. She then top-scored with 50 runs off 40 balls in the last match and picked up one wicket as well.

Moloney can be tipped to produce another impressive performance in the next game against the Heat.

Brisbane Heat-W vs Melbourne Stars-W Match Toss Prediction

The pitch at North Sydney Oval offers a balanced surface in white-ball cricket. Both batters and bowlers enjoy some help from the wicket, but the last two games at this venue suggest a help for the bowlers. In the first two matches played here this season, teams failed to reach the 150+ total while batting first and lost both games. So, the captains are likely to prefer bowling first after winning the toss in this fixture.

The threat of light rain looms over Sydney during this morning’s fixture on Saturday. There is a forecast for cloudy weather in the early stages of this fixture.
