Predicting Melbourne Stars Women’s playing XI for their match against Adelaide Strikers Women in WBBL

Tomorrow is the final day for the WBBL and the first match will be played between Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers. Though both teams are currently eliminated they still could play to stay away from the bottom of the table. The Stars will want to finish their season in great fashion and try to finish at number 7 in the table. They will need the perfect playing XI to break their 6 game losing streak at the end of their season.

The Melbourne Stars have not had the best of years in 2024 and have currently lost 6 games in a row. The team is currently at the bottom of the barrel with just 2 wins out of their 9 games so far. They will be up against the Adelaide Strikers who even after winning 2 of their last games have also been eliminated in the league stage. The Stars will need the perfect combination to win their last and final match.

So, here is the predicted playing XI for the Melbourne Stars for their final game-

Top order: Rhys Mckenna, Sophie Reid(wk) and Meg Lanning

The top order has to fire for the Stars and though Mckenna, Reid, and Lanning have not been in the best of form, they are still talented players and should be backed in the last and final game of the season. These three will want to give their best performance against the Strikers and it will be interesting to see if they can give some iconic performance to finish their horrible season with a win.

Middle order: Annabel Sutherland(c), Marizanne Kapp and Tess Flintoff

Sutherland and Kapp are one of the key players for the Stars and there is no doubt that they will be playing the last and final game. However, The Stars will need a performance from Tess Flintoff as well who has been struggling in the tournament so far. The middle order has not had a lot of luck recently and the Stars will hope that these three all-rounders can find some form tomorrow.

Lower-middle order: Deepti Sharma and Ines Mckeon

These two players might be lower down the order, but we all know that they have a lot of ability. Deepti Sharma and Mckeon are two of the important players who can score crucial runs in the lower order and will be needed to find some form going into the match. These two players will have to bring their A-game on the final day and tomorrow will be the day when the Stars will want them at their best.

Tailenders: Kim Garth, Maisy Gibson, and Sophie Day

The bowlers have done a decent job for the stars and there should be no changes made in this instance. Garth with her pace and Gibson and Day with their left arm spin will be vital for the Stars. Overall this will make up a great bowling attack to look forward to and can create problems for even the strong batting lineup of the Adelaide Strikers who will also be hoping to get a win in their final match.
