Predicted XI
Perth Scorchers:
Perth Scorchers play their first home game of the season and shouldn’t be making any changes to their side. Their top-order comprising of Lanning, Jones, Sciver and Bolton is key to their fortunes with Jones already in decent form. Although it is not known whether Sciver will bowl or not, they have a resourceful bowling unit as well. While Heather Graham hasn’t fired yet, Jemma Barsby and Chloe Piparo have done the damage so far and will be expected to continue in the same vein on Friday as well.

Melbourne Renegades:
As for the Renegades, in spite of having one of the most formidable rosters in the league, they have succumbed to two losses in four outings. The trio of Molineux, Wyatt and Beaumont are yet to fire as a unit although Duffin has been the standout batter for them. Their bowling unit is also well rounded with Maitlan Brown picking seven wickets so far in the tournament. Adding Lea Tahuhu and Georgia Wareham to the equation only sweetens the deal for the Renegades heading into this game.
Sophie Molineux, Danielle Wyatt, Tammy Beaumont, Claire Koski, Jess Duffin, Courtney Webb, Maitlan Brown, Georgia Wareham, Molly Strano and Lea Tahuhu

Meg Lanning is one of the premier batters in the Women’s circuit and should be picked along with the in-form Natalie Sciver. Jess Duffin, who has scored 156 runs in the tournament so far, is also a worth-while option while the likes of Heather Graham and Sophie Molineux also warranty a place in the side. Maitlan Brown has stood out with seven wickets in four games for the Renegades. She is another viable option along with leg-spinner, Georgia Wareham, who is due for a big performance in WBBL 2019-20.
