Form Guide:
Brisbane Heat: WWWLL (Most recent first)
The Brisbane Heat have found a nice run of form in the back half of the tournament, making it three wins in a row when they defeated the Stars at Drummoyne Oval.
Melbourne Stars: LLLLW
It has been a disappointing season for the Melbourne Stars, who slumped to four straight defeats after losing the Sydney Thunder on Sunday and who have been knocked out of the running for finals.
Players to watch:
Lucy Hamilton made history the last time these two sides met, becoming the first bowler in Heat history to take a five-wicket haul. The 18-year-old stunned the Stars and a repeat performance will see the Heat well on their way to another finals berth.
While things haven't gone their way this season, the Stars' future seems bright with players like Rhys McKenna, the allrounder has stepped up this season.
Head-to-head
What's on the line
While the Melbourne Stars' finals chances were vanquished in their last loss, they have the opportunity to shake up the top four if they can upset the Heat at home.
The Heat sit on the other side of the equation to the Stars, they need to win this game and their place in the WBBL finals will be guaranteed with one game still to play.
