Match Predictions for Brisbane Heat Women vs Melbourne Stars Women
Brisbane Heat fought hard in the previous game. However, the batting unit needs to work on itself a little more. Melbourne Stars, on the other hand, look like an imbalanced unit. They lack depth in the batting order. Overall, a good contest of bat and ball is expected to play out. Brisbane Heat is most likely to win this fixture.
