Sydney Thunder will face Melbourne Stars at the Drummoyne Oval in Sydney on Wednesday, November 20, aiming to extend their dominance. They have had an impressive Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2024 campaign, securing five wins out of their eight matches. Despite their recent game against the Sydney Sixers being washed out, the Thunder remain at the top of the points table with 11 points. Their strong performances throughout the season have set them up as one of the favorites for the playoffs.
In contrast, the Stars have endured a disappointing season. Led by Annabel Sutherland, the team finds themselves at the bottom of the standings. With four consecutive losses, the Stars are on the brink of elimination. This match against the table-toppers presents a challenging opportunity for them to salvage some pride and end their losing streak.
