Pitch Report

A decent batting track beckons with some help on offer for the bowlers as well. While the pacers should get the ball to move around early on, the batters have to bide their time in the middle. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, making for a good contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 140 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s ST-W vs MS-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tahlia Wilson: Since her promotion to the top of the order, Tahlia Wilson hasn't fired for the Thunder. However, she has a decent technique to fall back on, making her a good option ahead of Nicole Faltum in your ST-W vs MS-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Meg Lanning: Meg Lanning is yet to fire for the Melbourne Stars in this WBBL and is due for a big score. On her day, she can take any attack to the cleaners, which makes her one to watch out for in this game.

All-rounder

Annabel Sutherland: Annabel Sutherland has been the Stars' go-to bowler. In addition to her accurate seam bowling, Sutherland is also set to open the batting for the Stars, something that adds value to her case for inclusion in your ST-W vs MS-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Hannah Darlington: Hannah Darlington's death bowling skills and array of variations have served the Thunder well, but they are still searching for their first win of the tournament. With conditions likely to help Darlington, one can expect her to pick up a few wickets in this fixture.
