The Melbourne Cricket Ground is set to host a thrilling encounter today as the Melbourne Stars face off against the Melbourne Renegades in the 28th match of the 2024 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). The match is scheduled to begin on November 15, 2024.

The Stars have struggled this season, currently sitting in 7th place with just 2 wins from their 5 matches. They are coming off a disappointing loss to the Renegades in their last encounter, where they fell short by 15 runs, despite a commendable bowling performance that restricted the Renegades to 146 runs. Key players like Meg Lanning and Deepti Sharma need to convert their starts into significant contributions if the Stars hope to turn their fortunes around.

The Renegades are in much better shape, currently holding the 4th position on the points table with 4 wins out of 7 matches. They are riding high on confidence after a convincing victory against the Adelaide Strikers, where they chased down a target of 185 runs, thanks to an explosive innings from Hayley Matthews who scored an unbeaten 85 runs.
