Melbourne Stars Women were in a position to surpass the target of 170 runs set by Melbourne Renegades Women but only a small margin of runs could not turn the match into win. If a few players had batted a bit earlier, it might not have been too difficult to collect 9 runs. Deepti Sharma's batting for Melbourne Stars Women was not very good in the match. The score of 15 runs from 16 balls had a major negative impact on the match while Rhys McKenna played a bit better otherwise the margin could have widened. The biggest impact has been that the early batsmen have not played as well as they should. Definitely Melbourne Renegades Women strong team so to win against them everyone in the team must give equal effort otherwise it will be difficult to win.
Melbourne Stars Women missed the target by only 9 runs. If we look at the Melbourne Renegades Women then they were lucky that after the bad start (at one point they were 48-5), Nicole Faltum made 66 runs right at the end and helped the team reach 170 scores. Without this inning Melbourne Renegades Women wouldn't have won this match.
Melbourne Stars Women chased well but the real problem was that they kept on losing wickets all the time as soon as the batsmen get set. This did not let them come on top of this match. Also Renegades Women also used seven bowlers and each bowled a different variety, which didn't let the batsmen settle.
Melbourne Renegades team collapsed at the start but they managed to get a good score from that situation. Melbourne Stars managed to score 95 for 5 wickets compared to 48 for 5. In other words, even though Melbourne Stars could do well from this position, they fell behind again in the end, due to which they lost the match by only 9 runs. In T20 cricket, if you can play by holding the wicket at the beginning, then you can do well in the end, but when you have to lose wickets at the beginning, the batsmen cannot play in that ratio even if they want.
Adelaide Strikers Women vs Hobart Hurricanes Women match today Adelaide Strikers Women did not do very well in batting in the beginning.
