While the Brisbane Heat Women will aim to taste their first victory this season, the Melbourne Stars Women will aim to continue their winning streak. 

 

Brisbane Heat Women

 

It has been a disheartening campaign for the Brisbane Heat Women's team in the 2025 Women's Big Bash League tournament. They had a disappointing outing in their opening fixtures as they lost their first match of the tournament against the defending champions, Melbourne Renegades, by 7 wickets and have been winless since then, losing four back-to-back matches. They suffered their latest defeat against the Sydney Thunder Women by 41 runs. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the points table with no wins.

 

Melbourne Stars Women

 

The Melbourne Stars Women have failed to perform as per their expectations this season, but they are doing comparatively better than the Brisbane Heat. They have two wins to their name in their four matches so far and are placed fourth in the table. They are coming into this match after beating the Sydney Sixers Women by a whopping 111 runs. Meg Lanning was the standout performer, scoring a giant 135-run knock from just 74 deliveries. They will aim to continue their winning momentum.
