As the Women’s Big Bash League enters its business end as far as the group-stage is concerned, Melbourne Renegades Women host Sydney Thunder Women at the Junction Oval on November 23, 2024. When it comes to the Renegades, they have been in fine nick in their last few games. They would like to finish the league phase on a high by recording their fifth victory on the bounce. The Thunder were on a fine spell of victories before being mauled by the Scorchers. However, they have bounced back well and have re-established their position at the top going into the game.

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews
Matthews has not had the best of times with the bat following the first two games of her ongoing campaign. However, the 85* she notched less than a couple of weeks back displayed signs of the true potential she withheld among her.
Probable Best Bowler: Hayley Matthews
Not only has Matthews been a regular feature in the wickets column, but she has done so while maintaining a frugal economy rate too. It could be expected that she would have a profound impact on the game.
