Georgia Wareham-led Melbourne Renegades opt to bowl
Match 5 of the ongoing Women's Big Bash League 2025
Melbourne Renegades could go top of the table with a victory today
Georgia Wareham took two wickets and scored a fifty as her Melbourne Renegades registered a four-wicket victory over Sydney Thunder in match 5 of the ongoing Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) to be played on Tuesday, November 11 at the Junction Oval, Melbourne.
Earlier, MLR-W had won the toss and elected to bowl against SYT-W in Melbourne. Thunder had some big names in their line-up including Heather Knight and captain Phoebe Litchfield.
Anika Learoyd (31) did chip in the middle-overs but none of the Thunder batters could go on to score a fifty as they managed to post 148-7 in 20 overs.
In reply, the Renegades lost two wickets early on in Courtney Webb (3) and Davina Perrin (12). However, Alice Capsey (30) and Wareham (68) steadied the ship with some mindful batting.
Despite the two being dismissed, it was left on the shoulders of Nicole Faltum who scored a 26-ball 37 to take her side home in 18.1 overs and take MLR-W to the top of the WBBL 2025 points table.
