Perth Scorchers Women Team News & Playing 11
PRSW Team News
Perth Scorchers made their first change last time out – Taneale Peschel replacing Emma King. She was wicketless, however, and the pace of the WACA pitch may mean a recall for Kath Hempenstall this time. Chloe Piparo has batted just once and scored three runs so her place could be in danger too.
PRSW Key Players
Nat Sciver: Scored an unbeaten half-century when these teams last met and was one of the few Scorchers batsmen to score against Adelaide Strikers last time out too. She has been dismissed just once in three innings, scoring 93 runs so far.
Amy Jones: Opened the tournament with 44 in the defeat to the Renegades and then hit 60* in the dominant nine-wicket win against Brisbane Heat. The England wicket-keeper-batsmen is getting back to her best form.
Kim Garth: The Irish all-rounder should find conditions at the WACA suit her, and she goes into the game having claimed five wickets in three matches so far.
PRSW Team Form
The Scorchers have won one of their three games so far, beating Brisbane Heat by nine wickets thanks to Amy Jones and Meg Lanning hitting half-centuries, in between defeats to Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers.
Against the Renegades, Jones (44) and Nat Sciver (55*) were in good batting form but their total of 132/5 was not quite enough as they slipped to a four-wicket defeat. After bouncing back against Brisbane, chasing 147 to win in 18.2 overs, they then fell well short against Adelaide Strikers. Nicole Bolton hit 41 but a total of 115/9 was well below part and the Strikers needed just 14.4 overs to seal a seven-wicket win.

Melbourne Renegades Women Team News & Playing 11
MLRW Team News
Melbourne Renegades have stuck with the same 11 for all four games so far and despite a narrow defeat last time out – after a top-order collapse – they are unlikely to be rushing into changes for this game.
MLRW Key Players
Danni Wyatt: Top-scored in both of the Renegades’ wins so far – hitting 61 against Adelaide Strikers and 31 against the Scorchers. She has also claimed two wickets with her off-spin bowling.
Jess Duffin: The Renegades’ captain and hugely experienced former Australia international has led from the front with some consistent batting performances so far – she has hit 156 runs so far, including 69 against the Thunder last time out.
Maitlan Brown: The uncapped medium-pace bowler was wicketless when these teams last met, but she has picked up seven wickets from the other three matches she has played – including 3-22 last time out against Sydney Thunder.
MLRW Team Form
Melbourne Renegades bounced back from an opening defeat to Adelaide Strikers by beating the same opponents in their second game and then the Perth Scorchers. They could not make it three wins in a row last time out, however – chasing 133 to win after Sophie Molineux and Maitlan Brown each claimed three wickets, the Renegades came up just short on 129/8. Jess Duffin hit 69 from 56 balls bit was caught off the final ball.
