Sydney Sixers Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women (SS-W vs AS-W) Match Preview, 40th Match - WBBL 2025
Sydney Sixers Women Preview
Sydney Sixers Women sit third on the WBBL 2025 points table with five wins and three losses. Ellyse Perry has been their standout performer with the bat, scoring 272 runs so far, while Ashleigh Gardner leads their bowling charts with 14 wickets.
However, the Sixers enter this fixture on the back of a disappointing six-wicket defeat to the Melbourne Renegades Women. Batting first, they managed only 130/9 in 20 overs. The top order struggled, with Sophia Dunkley and Alyssa Healy falling cheaply, leaving Perry to anchor the innings. She top-scored with a resilient 65 off 47 balls, but lacked meaningful support as Georgia Wareham’s 3/21 helped restrict the Sixers to a below-par total.
In reply, the Renegades stumbled early, losing three wickets quickly, but Wareham’s outstanding all-round display turned the match in their favour. Her explosive 49 off 29 deliveries, featuring five fours and two sixes, guided the chase comfortably. The Renegades sealed the win in the 17th over, finishing with six wickets in hand.
Sydney Sixers Women Predicted XI
Ellyse Perry, Sophia Dunkley, Alyssa Healy (wk), Ashleigh Gardner (c), Maitlan Brown, Amelia Kerr, Mady Villiers, Erin Burns, Emma Manix-Geeves, Caoimhe Bray, Lauren Cheatle
Adelaide Strikers Women Preview
Adelaide Strikers Women currently occupy sixth place on the WBBL 2025 points table with three wins and three losses. Laura Wolvaardt has been their most consistent batter, amassing 264 runs so far, while Darcie Brown leads their bowling unit with 11 wickets.
Their previous outing against the Hobart Hurricanes Women was washed out after the first innings, but the Strikers still impressed with a strong batting display, posting 167/4 in 20 overs before rain intervened.
In their last completed match, the Strikers picked up a crucial six-wicket win over Brisbane Heat Women. Bowling first, they kept the Heat to 149/9, with Brisbane struggling for momentum despite useful contributions from Charli Knott (27 off 25) and Nadine de Klerk (25 off 13). Most of the Heat’s batting lineup failed to convert starts, resulting in an under-par total.
Chasing 150, Laura Wolvaardt and Tammy Beaumont provided a superb platform with an explosive opening stand. Wolvaardt made 49, while Beaumont stole the show with a stunning 64 off just 40 balls, smashing eight fours and three sixes. Tahlia McGrath added valuable runs in the middle order, helping the Strikers clinch victory in the final over with six wickets in hand.
