Form guide

Strikers: LWLLL (most recent first)

With just one win from their opening five games of the season, any slip up now by the two-time defending champions could spell the end of their quest for a historic three-peat.

Renegades: WLWWL

It is the second time the 'Gades and Strikers face off this season, with Melbourne winning a final-over thriller just seven days ago at Junction Oval. They'll be looking to make it two in a row to improve on their 3-3 record this season.

Players to watch

The Strikers bowlers have proved expensive so far this season with only Jemma Barsby conceding fewer than 7.5 runs per over. They'll be looking for strong showings from experienced campaigners Amanda-Jade Wellington (economy 9.35) and Megan Schutt (economy 8.25) to help them return to winning ways.

Over a third of the Renegades' deliveries against the Stars were dot balls, 16 of which came from second-gamer Charis Bekker (1-9 from four). Englishwoman Alice Capsey also found her grove with the bat (33 off 15 balls) after dominating with the ball so far this season (12 wickets).

• Melbourne Renegades have an 86 per cent catch success rate this WBBL|10 campaign which is the highest of any team and the Renegades highest in any of the last six seasons.
• Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades have alternated wins across their last 12 WBBL matches; the Renegades won their most recent meeting and will be aiming for back-to-back wins against the Strikers for only the second time in the history of the competition (December 2017 to December 2018).
• Adelaide Strikers lost their last WBBL match in South Australia (October 27, 2024 v Brisbane Heat), snapping a seven-game winning run in such fixtures; they will be looking to avoid back-to-back defeats in their home state for the first time since November 2022.

• Emma de Broughe (Melbourne Renegades) has a batting false shot rate of 16 per cent from 50 balls faced in WBBL|10, the second best (minimum 35 balls faced) of any player in the campaign (Annabel Sutherland – 12.4 per cent from 89 balls faced for Melbourne Stars).

What's on the line?

For the Strikers it's pretty much do-or-die as they need to win at least four of their last five, if not all five, to keep their season alive, and it starts against the Renegades at Karen Rolton Oval.

The Renegades are looking to return to finals for the first time in three seasons and another strong display would consolidate their position on the top four.
