The Hobart Hurricanes Women take on the Melbourne Stars Women in Match 24 of the Women’s Big Bash League 2025 at the Junction Oval in Melbourne. The Hurricanes will look to bounce back after a recent heartbreak, while the Stars will aim for their third consecutive victory in the tournament.

 

Hobart Hurricanes Women

 

The Hobart Hurricanes have been phenomenal so far in the tournament, winning five out of their six matches played so far. The Sydney Sixers Women broke their winning streak in the last match, where they suffered an 11-run defeat against Ashleigh Gardner's side. While chasing a modest total of 148 runs, the Hurricanes were bowled out for just 136. With the top-order in the form and bowlers consistently taking good wickets, they will be confident for their upcoming matches. However, this defeat didn't affect them much as they are still placed at the top of the WBBL 2025 points table with 10 points.

 

Melbourne Stars Women

 

Stars come into this match on the back of some strong batting performances in the last two matches, winning both of them with commanding results. They have only one defeat in their last five outings in the tournament, which came against the Melbourne Renegades. They will be coming into this game after beating the Brisbane Heat Women by 18 runs last time out. While batting first, Marizanne Kapp's unbeaten 93-run knock helped the team post a total of 171 for 8. While coming to bowl in the second innings, they restricted the Heat Women to 153 for 9. This victory helped them to move up in the table, placing them in the third spot.
