WBBL 2024: Match 39, MS-W vs AS-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WBBL match between Melbourne Stars Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women?

Franchise Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) will take on Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W) in what will be a bottom-of-the-table clash, on Sunday, November 24, in Match 39 of the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL 2024), at the renowned Junction Oval, in Melbourne.

The Stars are languishing at the foot of the table and have already been eliminated from the competition. With just two wins and losses from nine games, the Annabel Sutherland-led side will be looking to salvage some pride to end their campaign.

Meanwhile, Adelaide are placed in the seventh spot in the WBBL points table and only have a mathematical chance of progressing beyond the round-robin phase of the tournament. They have three wins and six defeats from the nine matches they have played so far. A win on Sunday will keep them afloat in the competition and they can sneak into the top four with some other results falling in their favour. This is going to be the first meeting between these two sides in this WBBL 2024 edition.

Pitch Report

The venue of Junction Oval has produced some balance surfaces this season in the WBBL. There is enough assistance for the pacers and the batters need to give some respect to the new ball before they can play the more extravagant strokes. Winning the toss and opting to bat first could be the better option as it would allow the two struggling teams to bat freely without scoreboard pressure.
