ST-W vs MR-W 21st Match Highlights of Women’s Big Bash League 2025

A ruthless spin bowling display saw the Melbourne Renegades Women crush Sydney Thunder Women by eight wickets in the 21st match of WBBL 2025 at Drummoyne Oval. So Let’s take a look at ST-W vs MR-W 21st Match Highlights.

Renegades Spinners Turn The Screws

The match was defined early by Melbourne Renegades’ outstanding spin quartet, who ripped through the Thunder lineup with relentless accuracy and guile. Sophie Molineux led the charge, claiming the final wicket and restricting Sydney Thunder to just 64 runs, their lowest total this season. Thunder’s top order struggled to find fluency, with Georgia Wareham and Alice Capsey both snaring crucial wickets in a ruthless display. Heather Knight and Phoebe Litchfield, expected anchors for Thunder, were unable to counter the disciplined Renegades attack, repeatedly falling to poorly timed shots and sharp fielding. The collapse continued as Thunder lost regular wickets in both powerplay and middle overs, never recovering from the early inroads made by Renegades.

Renegades Cruise To Victory

Chasing a modest target, the Renegades Women made light work of the run chase, with their top order showing both restraint and flair. Tess Flintoff and Courtney Webb gave a fluent start, confidently dispatching loose deliveries to the boundary. With little scoreboard pressure, Renegades ticked off the runs briskly, Heather Knight featuring with impressive boundary strokes. The only losses during their chase came from aggressive shots against the spin but, overall, their composure made the contest a one-sided affair. The Renegades ultimately reached the target in the 12th over, losing just two wickets and further cementing their reputation as formidable WBBL title defenders. The win boosted Renegades’ position on the table while Thunder, with their batting frailties exposed, faced questions over their top order strategies.

Will the Sydney Thunder Women regroup and re-ignite their campaign, or is this the turning point that propels Melbourne Renegades towards another WBBL title challenge?
