Perth Scorchers Women vs Melbourne Stars Women Prediction: Who Will Win PRSW vs MLSW 8th T20 WBBL Match?
The stage is set for a captivating clash as the Perth Scorchers Women vs Melbourne Stars Women prediction takes center stage in the 8th T20 of the Women’s Big Bash League 2025, scheduled for Friday, 14th November 2025, at Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide. Both teams come into this encounter with contrasting forms — the Scorchers are soaring high after a convincing win, while the Stars continue to struggle to find momentum.
The Perth Scorchers Women, led by Sophie Devine, made a remarkable comeback after their initial loss, defeating the Brisbane Heat Women convincingly in their previous match. Star opener Beth Mooney stole the show with a brilliant hundred, reaffirming her status as one of the most consistent batters in the league. With their top order firing and bowlers hitting the right lengths, the Scorchers look balanced and confident.

However, the Stars will have to address their bowling inconsistencies to challenge a formidable Scorchers side.
With the Scorchers having won five of their last eight meetings against the Stars, the odds are once again stacked in their favor. Still, the Stars will aim to rewrite history and reignite their campaign in Adelaide. This Perth Scorchers Women vs Melbourne Stars Women match prediction promises a thrilling battle between experience and resurgence.

Perth Scorchers Women Preview
The Perth Scorchers Women bounced back strongly after a tough start to their WBBL 2025 campaign. Under Sophie Devine’s astute leadership, the Scorchers produced a clinical performance against Brisbane Heat Women, registering a 23-run victory. Devine will now aim to maintain that momentum and solidify their position among the top contenders this season.
Star batter Beth Mooney was the standout performer in the last game, scoring a majestic century that anchored the team’s innings. Her partnership with Katie Mack at the top provides both stability and aggression. In the middle order, Sophie Devine, Paige Scholfield, and Freya Kemp offer the ability to shift gears quickly and accelerate during the death overs.
In the bowling department, Chloe Ainsworth and Sophie Devine will be crucial in picking early wickets. Amy Edgar and Ebony Hoskin are expected to continue applying pressure in the middle overs, while spinners Alana King and Lilly Mills bring variety and control to the attack.
The Scorchers’ balance between bat and ball, combined with Mooney’s sublime form, makes them one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament. A win here would further cement their reputation as consistent title challengers.
Key Players: Beth Mooney, Sophie Devine, Alana King
Perth Scorchers Women Predicted XI:
Sophie Devine (c), Beth Mooney (wk), Katie Mack, Paige Scholfield, Freya Kemp, Mikayla Hinkley, Alana King, Chloe Ainsworth, Lilly Mills, Amy Edgar, Ebony Hoskin
Melbourne Stars Women Preview
The Melbourne Stars Women are in a rebuilding phase, searching for their first win after a prolonged dry spell. Their previous fixture against the Adelaide Strikers Women ended in a washout, but Annabel Sutherland’s team showed glimpses of improvement, especially in the batting department.
Veteran Meg Lanning continues to be the backbone of the batting lineup. Her fluent strokeplay in the last outing demonstrated her class and experience. Partnering with Rhys McKenna, Lanning will aim to provide a solid start. Amy Jones, Annabel Sutherland, and Marizanne Kapp form a strong middle order capable of turning the game around with aggressive yet calculated batting.
In the bowling department, Marizanne Kapp and Kim Garth will lead the pace attack. Both have the experience and skills to exploit early movement. The spin duo of Maisy Gibson and Annabel Sutherland will be key in the middle overs, while Danielle Gibson and Georgia Prestwidge are expected to deliver at the back end of the innings.
The Stars’ main focus will be consistency — both with the bat and ball. Their lineup possesses world-class talent, but converting potential into performance has been their Achilles’ heel. A collective effort will be crucial if they want to end their losing streak against a strong Scorchers outfit.
Key Players: Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland
Melbourne Stars Women Predicted XI:
Annabel Sutherland (c), Rhys McKenna, Amy Jones (wk), Meg Lanning, Marizanne Kapp, Danielle Gibson, Kim Garth, Sasha Moloney, Georgia Prestwidge, Maisy Gibson, Sophie Day

| Role | Player | Team |
|---|---|---|
| WK | Beth Mooney | Perth Scorchers |
| Batters | Meg Lanning, Katie Mack, Paige Scholfield | Both |
| All-rounders | Sophie Devine, Annabel Sutherland, Marizanne Kapp | Both |

Players to Avoid:

Fantasy Tip:
For fantasy cricket players, building around Mooney and Devine is key. Both are in superb touch and contribute heavily to scoring. Annabel Sutherland and Marizanne Kapp bring valuable all-round skills, ensuring points with both bat and ball. Select spinners like Alana King and Lilly Mills, as Karen Rolton Oval often favors slow bowlers in the later stages. Avoid players like Freya Kemp and Sasha Moloney, who have yet to produce consistent fantasy returns.

The Perth Scorchers Women enter this contest as firm favorites. Their batting depth, led by Beth Mooney’s sublime form and Sophie Devine’s leadership, gives them an edge. The team’s balanced bowling attack — combining pace and spin — has shown the ability to handle pressure and restrict oppositions effectively.
The Melbourne Stars Women, despite showing improvement, still need to find rhythm and consistency. Their prolonged winless streak and overreliance on key players like Lanning and Sutherland make it challenging against a confident Scorchers side.
