The Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W) will face Melbourne Renegades Women (MR-W) in their 9th match of the Women's Big Bash League 2025 on Friday, November 14, at the Karen Rolton Oval. It promises to be a intense and exciting contest between the two sides, with form currently favoring the Renegades, who have won their last two contests in impressive fashion. The Strikers are seeking their first win in the competition, so both sides will want to seize early momentum as the league heads into the final crucial stages. Adelaide Strikers Women The Adelaide Strikers Women will be itching to get back into action after their first game was washed out owing to rain against the Melbourne Stars. Tammy Beaumont and Laura Wolvaardt will look to provide a pretty solid start upfront, while the form of Wolvaardt will be a big boost. The skipper, Tahlia McGrath, will look to guide the middle order, as the presence of Bridget Patterson and Madeline Penna also helps. Megan Schutt's experience and Amanda-Jade Wellington's spin will be major weapons for early and middle-overs control on the bowling side. The Strikers will hope that their bowlers can strike early to allow them to put pressure on an imposing Renegades lineup. Melbourne Renegades Women In contrast, the Melbourne Renegades Women are in excellent form, as both their opening matches were won. Captain Georgia Wareham has been their star, contributing with bat and ball, with runs at a quick pace and five wickets so far. Solid support has come from Courtney Webb and Alice Capsey. The bowling, led by Wareham, Capsey, and Tess Flintoff, has also managed to keep opponents under pressure. With good team balance and lots of confidence, the Renegades will be looking for three in a row.

Wellington's knack for breaking partnerships and turning the game around during middle overs makes her a vital threat against this strong Renegades batting lineup. Georgia Wareham | MR-W: Georgia Wareham has been in brilliant form this season, showing her class as both a batter and a bowler. She has managed to score 74 runs in just two matches at a quick strike rate and continues to lead from the front as captain.
