Match 8, PS W vs MS W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WBBL match between Perth Scorchers Women vs Melbourne Stars Women?

The Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 will move on for the Match No. 8 of the tournament between Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) and Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) on Friday, November 14 at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide. This will be the first of the two games scheduled for Friday in the marquee 20-over league.

The Perth Scorchers Women opened their campaign in the 2025 season with the game against Sydney Sixers Women, but had a shambolic return, losing the match by 10 wickets. However, they made a stupendous comeback in the game that followed with a convincing win against the Brisbane Heat Women. As a result, the Perth-based franchise is at the fourth spot on the points table with a win and a loss.

The Melbourne Stars Women, on the other hand, had their season opener against the Adelaide Strikers Women get washed out due to rain. However, the side will be hoping to make things count in the upcoming clash on Friday. They currently have opened their account on the points table, but will aim to climb above with a couple of points against the Scorchers.

Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide Pitch Report

The pitch at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide is very fresh to hosting Women's T20 fixtures.

The ground has also hosted only one Women's One-Day International previously, and considering the record of runs and results at the venue, it can be said that the team winning the toss on Friday should opt to bat first.

Probable Top Performers from PS W vs MS W

Probable Best Batter: Beth Mooney

The attacking left-handed opening batter Beth Mooney can pose a threat to any bowling attack. With her ability to find gaps and play risk-free cricket to score runs, Mooney has been one of the top draws in the women's franchise cricket. Her batting during the powerplay overs will be crucial in determining the fortunes of the Perth-based side in the upcoming match.

Probable Best Bowler: Marizanne Kapp

Marizanne Kapp is a genuine all-rounder and can contribute supremely with the bat as well as the ball. However, she showed terrific signs of form in the recently-concluded Women's World Cup 2025, where she was also among the highest wicket-takers at the event. She has the ability to bowl wicket-to-wicket, especially during the powerplay overs, which can make scoring runs against her bowling difficult for the opposition.
