MLSW Team News
Melbourne Stars made a couple of changes to their side in the last match against Perth Scorchers; they replaced Katey Martin and Kristen Beams by Nicole Faltum and Tess Flintoff. Captain Elyse Villani has taken over the wicketkeeping duty and she will continue to open the batting alongside Lizelle Lee followed by Mignon du Preez and Annabel Sutherland at three and four respectively. Annabel Sutherland and Holly Ferling will probably be given the new balls once again.
MLSW Key Players
Lizelle Lee: The opener has been the most consistent batter for Melbourne Stars this WBBL with 327 runs which includes a century and a couple of fifties. The South African smashed 52 versus Adelaide Strikers two weeks ago.
Elyse Villani: Lizelle's opening partner Elyse Villani has also made a few notable contributions with the bat this season. The captain is coming on the back of a half-century against Perth Scorchers and she will be expected to lead from the front again.
Madeline Penna: She has been the pick of the bowlers for the Stars with 10 wickets in 8 matches at an economy of 8.52. Madeline has claimed a four-wicket haul; the leg-spinner returned excellent figures of 4-20 last month against Sydney Thunder.
MLSW Recent Form
The WBBL 2019 has been nothing less than a disaster for the Melbourne Stars who have managed to muster just one win out of the ten matches they have played so far. With only a couple of points in their kitty, they are languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard with no hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals starting next month. The Stars are now on a five-match losing streak after suffering a nine-wicket loss to Perth Scorchers last time out.
