Melbourne Renegades Women vs Perth Scorchers Women Prediction – WBBL 2025

Our verdict

Perth Scorchers Women

Perth’s balanced line-up gives them depth to chase if wickets are preserved, while Melbourne bring in-form players and aggressive strokeplay, so the contest looks close.

Toss pick: Melbourne Renegades Women

Women’s Big Bash League 2025Junction Oval

Melbourne Renegades Women host Perth Scorchers Women in the 25th match of WBBL 2025 at Junction Oval. The Renegades come in with confidence after an eight-wicket win over Sydney Thunder Women, in which their bowlers held the opposition to just 64 runs, and a win would move them towards the top of the table.

Their batting is led by Courtney Webb and Emma de Broughe at the top, with Sophie Molineux, Alice Capsey and Georgia Wareham in the middle order and Deandra Dottin and Nicole Faltum as finishers. Charis Bekker and Milly Illingworth look for early wickets, with Issy Wong and Wareham expected to squeeze the middle overs.

Perth Scorchers Women have been inconsistent this season but beat Adelaide Strikers Women by a single run last time out. Beth Mooney and Katie Mack missed out in that game and will be keen to give a solid start, while Sophie Devine, Maddy Darke, Freya Kemp and Paige Scholfield make up the middle order.

With the ball, Chloe Ainsworth is in strong form and looks to strike early, supported by Devine, while Ruby Strange, Alana King, Lilly Mills and Amy Edgar aim to keep scoring in check.
