MATCHUPS

Amy Jones v Sophie Day (T20s): Outs - 2, Balls - 26, Avg/SR - 12/93

Chloe Piparo vs Sophie Day (T20s): Outs - 2, Balls - 10, Avg/SR - 2/40

Sophie Devine vs Kim Garth (T20s): Outs - 4, Balls - 67, Runs - 88, Avg/SR - 21/128

Beth Mooney vs Kim Garth (T20s): Outs - 4, Balls - 71, Runs - 90, Avg/SR - 22/127

Sophie Devine vs current MS bowling unit (T20s): Outs - 9, Runs - 227, Balls - 182, Avg/SR - 25/125

Sophie Devine bowling vs key MS batters (T20s): Outs - 10, Runs - 137, Balls - 123, Avg/SR - 14/111

Points to Consider

  • Melbourne Stars batting in the powerplay: Outs - 23, Average - 16.6; They are the worst batting unit in the powerplay in WBBL 2023 while Perth Scorchers have the second-best record in this metric (9 Outs, 46 Avg). 
  • Perth Scorchers bowling in the powerplay: Inns - 10, Wickets - 18, Runs/Wicket - 21.6, Economy - 6.5; They are the second-best bowling unit with the new ball in WBBL 2023, who will be bowling to the worst batting unit against the new ball. The fantasy potential of Perth powerplay bowlers increases. Melbourne Stars bowling in PP: Inns - 11, Wickets - 13, Runs/Wicket - 35.3, Economy - 6.9 (Rank #5 wickets).
  • Who bowls in the powerplay for PS? Chloe Ainsworth in Overs 1-6 in WBBL 2023: Inns - 8, Overs - 13, Wickets - 7, Runs/Wicket - 10.1, Economy - 5.4; Back her in your teams especially if Perth Scorchers bowls first. Sophie Devine is likely to bowl from the other hand, who is a default pick anyway.
  • Lilly Mills was dropped to the bench due to a set of poor performances after a good start to the season. She is the highest wicket-taker at Perth in T20s since 2019 and her last good performance this season was against the Melbourne Stars where she picked up 2 wickets. If she plays, consider her as a good punt pick at Perth.
  • Amy Edgar can be a differential C/VC option - she is the highest wicket-taker in WBBL 2023 for the Perth Scorchers. Additionally, she is the death overs bowler for the Scorchers and has been very impressive this season. Amy Edgar in Overs 17-20 in WBBL 2023: Overs - 11, Wickets - 7, Runs/Wicket - 12.1, Economy - 7.7

Maia Bouchier vs Wrist Spin (in T20s since 2020): Outs - 8, Balls - 133, Avg/SR - 18/111

Sophia Dunkley vs Wrist Spin (in T20s since 2020): Outs - 9, Balls - 182, Avg/SR - 20/95

Points to Consider

  • Meg Lanning was unavailable for selection in the last match. If she is available against the Scorchers, she will open the batting with Sophia Dunkley pushed down to the middle order.. In that case, Olivia Henry is likely to sit out.
  • This Melbourne Stars batting unit struggles against wrist spin and they will face a major challenge in this match through Alana King, who has also gotten the better of the Stars' lynchpin, Meg Lanning. The entire middle order apart from Annabel Sutherland have had massive issues against this bowling type.
