WBBL Knockout: All you need to know, playing XI, head-to-head
Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars Women are gearing up to lock horns in the Knockout of the ongoing Women's Big Bash League, set to be played on Tuesday at W.A.C.A Ground in Perth. Having claimed victories in three of their last four games, Perth Scorchers are riding a wave of momentum and would hope to keep the surge in their performance intact. Perth Scorchers, who are currently placed third in the points table with six wins in ten games, moved up the table through the second half of the tournament.
On the other hand, Melbourne Stars Women, who are coming off three consecutive defeats, will aim for a turnaround and fight off the threatening Perth Scorchers. Stars are occupying the fourth spot in the points table with five wins in ten matches. Meg Lanning has led their batting efforts, and once again she will hope to click in with a cracking knock. She will draw confidence from her earlier performance against the Scorchers, where she blasted an unbeaten 90. Notably, the winner of the Knockout will move to the Challenger, while the loser will exit the tournament.
