Open poll and resultsPerth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars prediction
Perth Scorchers are one of two teams heading into Sunday's WBBL doubleheader having won three from three so far. Key to their red-hot start have been the runs provided by captain Beth Mooney, who currently averages a whopping 155.00. In three innings for the Scorchers, Mooney has racked up over 150 runs, including a top score of 80 not out most recently, in the Scorchers' 17-run win over Sydney Thunder.
If Melbourne Stars are to succeed here, they'll need to find a way to stop the Australian international. But the Stars themselves boast a high-scoring captain in the form of Meg Lanning, who has registered 146 runs herself across four innings. However, make going through the full line-ups of both teams, Perth Scorchers have been significantly better from a batting perspective. With that in mind, backing them to defeat the Stars has to be favoured.
