Perth Scorchers Women host Melbourne Renegades Women at the WACA in the 33rd match of the Women’s Big Bash League 2025. Sophie Devine will be disappointed after a seven-wicket defeat to the Hobart Hurricanes Women, in which a competitive total went to waste because of a lacklustre bowling display. The Scorchers can take heart from their strong performances against the Renegades earlier this season.
Beth Mooney has been in good form at the top and will aim to put on a solid stand with Katie Mack, with Maddy Darke, Devine and Freya Kemp stabilising the middle order. Paige Scholfield, in fine touch, and Chloe Ainsworth provide late acceleration. Devine and Ainsworth will look to strike early, Ruby Strange and Amy Edgar must tighten their lines, and Alana King and Lilly Mills add support.
The Renegades have lost twice in a row. Georgia Wareham took over as captain against the Melbourne Stars Women because Sophie Molineux was injured, and the team went down by 45 runs. Courtney Webb and Deandra Dottin both fell cheaply, and Naomi Stalenberg, Alice Capsey and Wareham need to anchor the middle order, with Nicole Faltum and Tess Flintoff finishing. Charis Bekker and Milly Illingworth must provide early breakthroughs, while Issy Wong has been effective and Dottin, Capsey and Sarah Coyte need to back her up.
