MR-W vs SS-W 36th Match Highlights of WBBL 2025
A dramatic WBBL 2025 36th match saw Melbourne Renegades Women edge past Sydney Sixers Women in a tense contest packed with big hits, sharp bowling, and momentum swings. So Let’s take a look at MR-W vs SS-W 36th Match Highlights.
Perry masterclass and Sixers’ stutter with the bat
Sydney Sixers Women began the 36th match of WBBL 2025 with positive intent, relying heavily on the experience and class of their top order to set a competitive total. Ellyse Perry anchored the innings superbly, mixing clean drives, precise placement, and occasional power hitting to compile a high-quality half-century that kept the visitors in the contest even as wickets fell around her. Despite Perry’s dominance, the Renegades’ bowlers continually chipped away at the other end, using changes of pace, disciplined lines, and attacking fields to prevent any significant partnerships from forming. Middle-order and lower-order Sixers batters struggled to adapt to the conditions, often starved of strike or forced into high-risk strokes against tight bowling and sharp fielding. As a result, what looked like a platform for a 150-plus total eventually faded into a more modest score in the low 130s, leaving Sydney Sixers Women slightly under par given the pitch, outfield pace, and ground dimensions. The Renegades walked off at the innings break knowing they had contained Perry as best as the situation allowed and completely controlled the rest of the batting card, giving their chase a manageable and clearly defined target.
Renegades wobble before Wareham–Webb seal the chase
Melbourne Renegades Women’s reply started nervously as the Sixers’ new-ball attack extracted just enough movement and bounce to create early problems. A burst of wickets in the powerplay left the Renegades reeling, forcing their top order into a rebuilding job that never quite settled as planned. Brief resistance from the remaining specialist batters ensured the required rate stayed within reach, but the pressure of dot balls and clever field placements meant one false stroke could have swung the match decisively back to the Sixers. Instead, Georgia Wareham and Courtney Webb transformed the game with an assertive yet calculated partnership that blended smart strike rotation with ruthless punishment of loose deliveries. Wareham took the initiative, using her feet to the spinners, targeting the gaps over cover and midwicket, and refusing to let the run rate drift into dangerous territory. Webb complemented her perfectly, picking off singles, threading late cuts, and capitalizing on width to keep the field spread and negate the Sixers’ attacking options. As their stand grew, the Sixers’ bowlers ran out of variations and ideas, with mis-executed yorkers turning into boundary balls and slower deliveries sitting up to be hit. In the end, the Renegades cruised home with overs to spare, their middle-order rescue act redefining the tone of the match and keeping their campaign alive while leaving the Sixers ruing missed chances in both disciplines.
The 36th match of WBBL 2025 between Melbourne Renegades Women and Sydney Sixers Women will be remembered for Perry’s lone batting brilliance, the Sixers’ inability to capitalize around her, and the composure of Wareham and Webb under pressure. Did this performance signal a genuine turning point in the Renegades’ season, or will the Sixers learn quickly enough to bounce back in their next outing?
