Melbourne Stars Women have started their season on a losing note. A frustrating run chase followed a superb bowling performance. MLS Women got out for 109 runs as they chased a 123-run target. Last year, the Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars faced off at the Junction Oval in Melbourne in the season opener. Stars Women won by just two runs while defending 165.

The pitch is small, and the outfield is extremely fast. There isn't much for bowlers to work with, and both quick bowlers and spinners have struggled on this track.
It will be a warm evening, and we expect a batting-friendly wicket where fast bowlers will struggle.

It is going to be a close contest between two evenly matched teams. However, there are a few major issues with both teams' batting lineups. Stars' middle order lacks consistency and experience, despite their solid bowling. The hosts have an a couple of in-form batters as well as some experienced players who need a big hit to get into a rhythm. The Sydney Sixers have a slightly stronger overall roster and will start as favorites in our match prediction. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers-W is expected to win this match.
