Probable Playing XI:
Sydney Thunder-W:
All eyes will be on 16-year-old Phoebe Litchfield ahead of this encounter after her match-winning inning against Brisbane Heat. Furthermore, the likes of Rachel Priest, Rachel Haynes, and Alex Blackwell form a powerful batting unit whereas the experience and skill of Shabnim Ismail are invaluable from the bowling perspective.
Naomi Stalenberg, Rachel Priest (WK), Rachel Haynes (C), Alex Blackwell, Phoebe Litchfield, Nida Dar, Hannah Darlington, Rene Farrell, Lisa Griffith, Shabnim Ismail, Samantha Bates
Melbourne Renegades-W:
Sophie Molineux is an integral part of this team owing to her all-round prowess whilst Danielle Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont are aggressive batters that can clear the boundary lines with considerable ease. Lea Tahuhu, Georgia Wareham and Molly Strano bring plenty of variety and potency to the bowling arsenal.

Top Picks:
Phoebe Litchfield displayed immense composure and maturity way beyond years to complete a successful run chase against the Heat alongside the experienced Alex Blackwell. She also became the youngest player, male or female, to score a half-century in the Big Bash. Sophie Molineux is another must-have in the fantasy side considering her all-round performances. Last season, the 21-year-old bagged 16 wickets in addition to accumulating 354 runs. In the previous fixture, Tammy Beaumont appeared in destructive touch in her quick-fire knock of 25 from 17 balls at an attractive strike rate of 147.06. She has to be included in the Dream11 Team alongside Danielle Wyatt, Rachel Priest, and Nida Dar.
