WBBL 2025: Match 40, SS W vs AS W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s WBBL match between Sydney Sixers Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women?

Sydney Sixers Women are set to face Adelaide Strikers Women in Match No. 40, the final group-stage clash of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025, at the North Sydney Oval.

The Sydney Sixers currently sit third on the points table with five wins from nine matches and are eyeing a crucial victory that could push them into second place and secure a stronger position heading into the next round. A win here would seal their advancement and boost their momentum heading into the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Adelaide Strikers Women will look to play party spoilers. With three wins from nine games, they are placed sixth and have minimal chance to qualify next round. So, they will be keen to end their campaign on a positive note by pulling off an upset against the Sydney Sixers and get to a position in top four of the table.

North Sydney Oval - Pitch Report

The North Sydney Oval generally favours the team bowling first in T20s, offering assistance to both pacers and spinners who can extract movement and pick up wickets regularly. However, batters who spend enough time at the crease can capitalise later on, as the surface tends to ease out, allowing them to build momentum and take the game forward.
