The 14th match of WBBL 2023 scheduled for October 28 is set to feature a clash between Melbourne Renegades Women and Sydney Sixers Women at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.
After an 81-run win over the Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Renegades Women are coming off a poor defeat against Sydney Thunder by eight wickets. Tammy Beaumont provided a decent start with her 23 but the top-middle order failed to assist her. Despite Georgia Wareham's unbeaten 47 and Courtney Webb's 31, they managed to post a modest total of 147 runs.
In the course of the game, Sydney Thunder's openers smoothly surpassed the 100-run mark. Although Wareham made significant contributions by taking wickets, the rest of the bowling attack couldn't fully complement her efforts.
On the other hand, Sydney Sixers Women lost their third consecutive game of the WBBL 2023 against table-toppers Brisbane Heat by three wickets. Despite skipper Ellyse Perry's resilient 49, the Sixers struggled to post a competitive target. Chloe Tryon's 42 was a notable contribution, but the rest of the team faltered, resulting in a total of 146/8.
While the Sixers' bowling unit managed to take seven wickets, their efforts fell short in preventing Brisbane Heat from reaching the target.
