Match 22 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 features Brisbane Heat Women (BH-W) taking on Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) at Allan Border Field, Brisbane, on Sunday, November 23, at 2:40 PM IST. The sides recently faced each other in the T20 Spring Challenge, where Brisbane Heat clinched a dominant 63-run victory.
Brisbane Heat Women Preview
Brisbane Heat Women are still searching for their first win of the season. Their closest contest came in the opener against Melbourne Renegades Women, but inconsistency has hurt them since then. Both their batting and bowling departments have lacked standout performers so far. With the season slipping away, the Heat will be desperate to register their first points on Sunday.
Melbourne Stars Women Preview
Melbourne Stars Women have enjoyed a more stable run, securing two wins in four games, along with one no-result.
Captain Meg Lanning has been exceptional with the bat, scoring heavily and providing the team with solid starts. In the bowling department, Kim Garth has been impressive, taking eight wickets in four matches at an economy of 5.66. The Stars enter this fixture with better momentum and confidence.
