A win by 4 runs over city rivals Melbourne Renegades Women saw Melbourne Stars Women end a losing run in their last game, but it has still been a disappointing campaign and they come into this clash in Brisbane in seventh place in the WBBL table.
Top order runs will be crucial on this pitch and Melbourne Stars Women have captain Meg Lanning in excellent form after she hit six fours and one six in her 49-ball 67 in the Melbourne city derby. Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey and Annabel Sutherland are all batters who will enjoy this surface at the Allan Border Field.
Melbourne Stars Women have a varied bowling attack but in Annabel Sutherland they have a bowler who will worry all opposing batters. She has figures of 4/22 and 3/22 from her last two matches and will be the main threat in the bowling unit in this match.
Melbourne Stars Women ended a run of four successive defeats with their win in Match 37.

A 53 run defeat to Brisbane Heat Women on Wednesday at the same venue as this game means that Hobart Hurricanes Women’s poor run of form continues. They come into this match only one point above their opponents in the table.
Hobart Hurricanes Women have tended to be over-reliant on South African opener Lizelle Lee so far in this campaign and she was the only player in their batting line-up to hit a six in their last game. Captain Elyse Villani dropped herself down to number three in the last match and is in need of a big score in this match.
As one of the most experienced players in this format, former South Africa Women’s international Shabnim Ismail is a crucial part of Hobart Hurricanes Women’s bowling attack. Alongside Nicola Carey and Heather Graham, we expect the trio to be key bowlers on Friday.
Hobart Hurricanes Women have not won any of their last five matches in the tournament.
Lizelle Lee (wk), Bryony Smith, Elyse Villani (c), Heather Graham, Nicola Carey, Naomi Stalenberg, Ruth Johnston, Hayley Silver-holmes, Molly Strano, Amy Smith, Shabnim Ismail
Neither of these two sides come into this match in good form but at least Melbourne Stars Women did get over the winning line in their last game. Hobart Hurricanes Women have not been scoring enough runs with the bat in recent fixtures and they are up against a strong bowling attack. Our prediction is for Melbourne Stars Women to win Match 42.
