The Match 28 of the Women’s Big Bash League 2025 showcases Melbourne Renegades Women against Melbourne Stars Women at Junction Oval, Melbourne, scheduled for November 29, commencing at 9:40 AM local time. The Renegades are currently positioned third in the standings with 4 victories out of 7 played games and a net run rate of +0.570, whereas the Stars are ranked second with 4 victories from 6 games concluded and a stronger +2.152 NRR. This Melbourne clash follows the Renegades’ recent four-wicket defeat by Perth Scorchers, whereas the Stars have been on a good streak, including a 37-run win against Hobart Hurricanes.
The Renegades initiated their campaign with consecutive victories but faced challenges, losing three of their last five matches. They do have an advantage, though, having successfully chased 142 in 18.5 overs to overcome the Stars by four wickets earlier in the competition. The Stars have secured four wins in five games after their opening match was affected by rain, with recent victories like an 18-run win over Brisbane Heat displaying their strong batting lineup. A crucial factor for the Renegades will be their ability to recover at home, where they recently fell short while chasing 150 against the Scorchers.
