Who will win Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars (Women’s Big Bash League 2019-20)?
Adelaide Strikers will look to get their WBBL|05 campaign back on track when they welcome Melbourne Stars to the Karen Rolton Oval. The match, on November 10, is scheduled to start at 13:40 local time.
Three consecutive wins had pushed the Strikers up the table, but back-to-back defeats have just halted their momentum a little in recent matches. They remain favourites to win this game against the struggling Stars, however.
Melbourne Stars have won just once so far this season and, after getting off the mark in the previous game, they were heavily beaten by the Sydney Sixers last time out. They had no answer to Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy, taking no wickets in the 20 overs.

ADSW Team News
Adelaide Strikers have been unchanged for their last few matches but they may stick with the same XI again despite defeat last time out, given they generally played well last time out and had been winning with this team too.
ADSW Key Players
Suzie Bates: Off the pace with the bat last time out, which ultimately proved costly, but there is no doubting the importance of the captain and world’s leading W20i batsman at the top of the order.
Sophie Devine: Starred in this fixture last season with 95 runs and five wickets and has been in fine all-round form this season too. She scored a half-century and took a wicket in the defeat to the Scorchers last time out.
Megan Schutt: Seven wickets so far in this year’s tournament and, though she has been wicketless in the last two defeats, the world’s top WT20i bowler kept things tidy with 0-22 last time out.
ADSW Team Form
Sophie Devine has hit back-to-back half-centuries in the last two matches but she has been unable to prevent Adelaide Strikers falling to two defeats – having previously won three in a row. They failed to defend 141/8 against Brisbane Heat in the first of those defeats, while they came up just two runs short in reply to Perth Scorchers’ 173/3 last time out.

MLSW Team News
Holly Ferling could slot back in for Chloe Rafferty, having been the only change from the Stars’ only win of the season last time out. Ferling and Rafferty have rotated all season, with the rest of the team having been settled in recent matches.
MLSW Key Players
Lizelle Lee: Followed a half-century against Sydney Thunder with her match-winning, unbeaten 103* against Perth Scorchers and added 25 more last time out against the Sixers. With the big-hitting South African in top form, they are dangerous at the top of the order.
Madeline Penna: Took four wickets in the defeat to Sydney Thunder and two in the win against Perth Scorchers with her leg-spin bowling.
Elyse Villani: Two half-centuries in her last three games have marked a much-needed return to form for the Stars’ captain and opening batsman.
MLSW Team Form
Melbourne Stars lost their first four matches of the season but they got back to winning ways in their fifth game – Lizelle Lee smashing an unbeaten century as they beat Perth Scorchers by 20 runs.
They could not back it up, however, conceding 199/0 against Sydney Sixers last time out. Elyse Villani hit 59 in reply but the Stars could only muster 154/6 and lost by 45 runs.
