Who will win Melbourne Stars vs Melbourne Renegades, WBBL 2019?
Melbourne Renegades need to beat Melbourne Stars to ensure they stay firmly in play-off contention in WBBL|05 – as well as to reclaim derby bragging rights. The match takes place on November 30 at the CitiPower Centre and the live action is scheduled to start at 10:40 local time.
The Stars won last time these two teams met – Lizelle Lee starring with the bat in a seven-wicket victory – but they have otherwise been in poor form this season. That was one of only two wins this season, and they lost to Sydney Thunder by 18 runs in their most recent game.

The English all-rounder took 2-26 and then hammered 87 from 55 balls as they set the new highest successful WBBL run chase. They posted 185/4 to beat Brisbane Heat by six wickets and move level on points with fourth-placed Sydney Sixers.
