It would be really hard to pick any favourites in this match as both the teams playing this game have been in the pink of their forms throughout the tournament and have won matches after matches to reserve the top spots for them. The players of these teams have fought their way through to the very top and their individual performances have been the best of the lot.

The Melbourne Stars Women have 6 out of their 7 completed games and are placed at the top of the points table. They were scheduled to play 10 matches but have had only a handful of their games reach the final result. The story of their opponents has also been the same as they too have has 2 out of their 10 games cancelled.

So, it would be really interesting to see which team gets past the finish line successfully.
