ST-W vs MS-W Dream11 Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI of the 49th Match of WBBL 2019. Melbourne Stars Women will take on Sydney Thunder Women in the forty-ninth encounter of Women Big Bash League 2019 at Manuka Oval in Canberra.

Sydney Thunder Women are sixth on the points table with four wins and seven losses. They are unlikely to make it to the next stage like Melbourne Stars but will be eager to put a good show in their last two matches. In the last match, they lost to Adelaide Strikers in super over. Bowling first, Hannah Darlington’s three-fer restricted Strikers at 161 runs. In the chase, Rachel Priest and Stalenberg were good at the top-scoring 48 and 37 runs while Rachael Haynes scored 29 runs. However, Late hitting of 20* runs in 9 balls from Trenaman took the result to super over where Thunder failed miserably scoring only 6 runs with the bat which was chased easily.

Melbourne Stars Women are right at the bottom of the points table with two victories in eleven matches. However, They won their last match against inter-city rivals Melbourne Renegades by seven wickets. Bowling first, Hancock and Ferling took three scalps among them to restrict Renegades at 165 runs. Chasing the target, South African duo of Lee and Du Preez scored brilliant knocks of 62 and 41 runs while Erin Osborne did the rest scoring attacking 34* runs from 15 runs. They will hope to put their best effort in remaining three matches and end a disappointing season on a high note.
