Match 6 of the 2023 WNCL will witness the tussle between Western Australian Women and Victoria Women. This fixture is scheduled to be hosted at the Western Australia Cricket Association Ground, Perth on Thursday, September 28, 2023, at 7:30 am IST.

Western Australian Women vs Victoria Women Chance of Winning

Chloe Piparo played a pivotal role in Western Australia's impressive victory at the WACA, scoring an outstanding unbeaten 98 runs. This victory marked a triumphant return for Meg Lanning. Despite the early dismissal of opener Beth Mooney, Western Australia emerged victorious, successfully chasing down the target of 177 runs in just 35.1 overs while having 8 wickets in hand. Alana King, who is not a part of Australia's T20I squad but is set to join the national team in Brisbane before the first one-day match against West Indies, bowled exceptionally well, conceding only 31 runs and taking one wicket in her 10-over spell. Young fast bowler Chloe Ainsworth was the standout performer, claiming an impressive 3 wickets for 27 runs, while Zoe Britcliffe also made a valuable contribution by taking three wickets.

In the first innings, Victoria struggled with the bat and managed to post a total of 176 runs. Meg Lanning, the prominent Australian cricketer, made a remarkable return to competitive cricket by being the top scorer for Victoria in their domestic 50-over match against Western Australia. This comeback took place in the Women's National Cricket League game at the WACA, following Lanning's last appearance in the Women's Premier League in India back in March. Lanning had a stroke of luck early in her innings when she was caught off a no-ball, but she capitalised on this opportunity, ultimately scoring an impressive 51 runs from 48 balls. Victoria was asked to bat first by Western Australia and struggled throughout their innings, eventually getting bowled out in the 48th over for a total of 176 runs. Aside from Lanning, the only notable contributions came from Ella Hayward, who remained unbeaten with 40 runs, and opener Sophie Reid, who scored 32 runs. Another notable return for Victoria was Ellyse Perry, who had recovered from a knee injury and was cleared to play in Australia's first T20I against West Indies at North Sydney Oval on Sunday. Perry, however, was dismissed for just eight runs in this match. Additionally, Annabel Sutherland (1), Georgia Wareham (1), and Kim Garth (0) from the Australian squad also departed cheaply. Meg Lanning is set to miss the upcoming white-ball series against West Indies at home next month, but her successful comeback with Victoria marks an essential step in her journey back to the national team. She is expected to feature in Victoria's next game against Western Australia on Thursday. Meanwhile, Ellyse Perry, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, and Beth Mooney will head to Sydney to join their national teammates.

Western Australia Women vs Victoria Women Betting Tips

Scoring 513 runs in 12 matches during the previous season, Chloe Piparo emerged as the top run-scorer for her team. She maintained an impressive average of 51.60 and recorded six half-centuries during the competition. In her recent performance, she played an outstanding innings of 98 runs without getting dismissed. Therefore, it would be a wise choice to bet on Piparo to surpass the mark of 29.5 runs when facing Victoria Women in the upcoming game.

Annabel Sutherland has shown remarkable progress over the past year, particularly in her batting skills. During the last WNCL season, she accumulated an impressive total of 354 runs in six matches while maintaining an outstanding average of 88.50. Given her recent form and capabilities, we anticipate Sutherland to achieve a score exceeding 29.5 runs when facing Western Australia Women in the upcoming game.

Western Australia Women vs Victoria Women Toss Prediction

The Western Australian Cricket Ground, commonly known as the WACA Ground, holds a significant place in cricket history as one of the historic venues. The pitch at this ground is renowned for providing substantial bounce, making it a favourite for pacers who relish bowling here. Additionally, the pitch maintains its pace and bounce throughout the second innings. However, once batsmen get settled, they have the opportunity to play their shots and reap the rewards. Furthermore, the ground features a fast outfield, and the boundaries are relatively smaller, enhancing the scoring potential for batsmen.

Last season, six WNCL games were played here at the W.A.C.A Stadium in Perth out of which three ended in favour of the team batting second while two went in the favour of the team batting first. This season, only a single game has been played at this venue thus far and it ended in favour of the team batting 2nd. Hence, we predict the skipper winning the toss to bowl first here.

They are the reigning Marsh Cup champions and just defeated Victoria Women in this season’s opener by 8 wickets with 89 balls to spare. Plus, Western Australia Women have a superior record against Victoria Women, winning three out of their past five meetings while losing only on a single occasion. Furthermore, Victoria will be without Perry, Sutherland, Wareham and Mooney as they will fly to Sydney for their upcoming white ball series against West Indies next month.
