Stars’ Clinical Start with the Bat

Opting to bat first, the Melbourne Stars Women posted a competitive total, propelled by solid contributions from their top order. Annabel Sutherland anchored the innings with a fluent fifty, supported by a brisk cameo from Meg Lanning, whose boundary-laden knock energized the Stars’ middle overs. The Renegades bowlers, spearheaded by Sophie Molineux, fought back effectively in the final stages, restricting the Stars to 146/6 in 20 overs. Molineux finished with impressive figures, using variation and precision to take key wickets, while Sarah Coyte and Georgia Prestwidge chipped in with economical spells to reduce late scoring.

Renegades’ Chase Falters Under Pressure

The Renegades’ reply began steadily, with Tammy Beaumont and Hayley Matthews establishing an early partnership. However, Matthews’ dismissal triggered a crucial middle-order collapse as Sophie Day and Kim Garth turned the tide with relentless accuracy. Beaumont top-scored with 41 but lost partners at vital moments. The Renegades struggled against Stars’ disciplined bowling, with Tess Flintoff and Garth delivering in death overs to seal the defense. Despite late resistance from Georgia Wareham, the Renegades fell just short, finishing at 139/8, granting Stars a marginal seven-run win. Fielding brilliance from Rhys McKenna and a sharp runout further dented the Renegades’ hopes in the closing overs.

With this derby triumph, the Melbourne Stars Women rise in the WBBL standings, while the Renegades are left searching for consistency. Will this momentum propel the Stars’ campaign toward the semifinals?
