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.

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.
