Melbourne Stars Women vs Perth Scorchers Women 1st Semi-Final | Bets to Make you Rich

The first semi-final of the Women’s Big Bash League 2020 will be fought between Melbourne Stars and Perth Scorchers at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney on Wednesday the 25th of November.

Melbourne Stars Women have shone throughout the season, they lost only 3 matches in the entire season and have shown us an exemplary display of their prowess. Perth Scorchers, who stood fourth in the season have struggled to reach the semi-finals with 6 wins and 6 losses to their name, they were practically carried to the semi-final by their top batsmen, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine. The first semi-final will be tense and decisive and if you think the odds on betting for Melbourne Stars to win isn’t giving you enough payback, I have picked the perfect bets for you, with just high enough odds, and higher winning probabilities, to make you rich.

Melbourne Stars to score the Most 4’s

While Perth Scorchers have two of the best batsmen in the series, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine, Melbourne Stars has a well-rounded team that has several batsmen who are extremely skilled and prone to hitting boundaries. The total number of 4’s scored by Perth Scorchers in the season has been a total of 135 in 12 innings, out of which Beth Mooney scored 53, Sophie Devine scored 42 and Chloe Piparo scored 12 fours. If we look at the number of 4’s scored by Melbourne Stars, we see that the total 4’s scored are 195 and they are much more evenly distributed between the top 4 batsmen with Meg Lanning at 60, Mignon du Preez at 46, Natalie Sciver at 22 and Elyse Villani at 48 fours. Another way to look at it is, Melbourne Stars have had an average of 16.25 4’s per match, and Perth Scorchers have an average of 11.25 4’s per match. In their head-to-head statistics we see that in the last 5 matches that the teams faced each other, Perth Scorchers have hit more fours in one match while Melbourne Stars have hit more fours in 3 of the matches, while one match was tied in the number of fours. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.72 for Melbourne to hit more fours and I am definitely putting my money on this bet.

Melbourne Strikers to hit the Most 6’s

This is my favourite bet of the whole match, not only is our money safe with this bet, what’s more, is the chance to win more than double your money back when you win the bet. The WBBL has an overall lack in the total no. of sixes hit, but if we compare these two teams and the number of sixes they have hit we find it surprisingly easy to predict. In the last 5 matches played head-to-head by these teams, the number of sixes is as follows:

Melbourne Stars:2, 2, 3, 4, 0

Perth Scorchers:1, 1, 1, 1, 0

And as we can see, Melbourne Stars scored more sixes 4 out of 5 times and drew one time in the total number of sixes. I further checked the tournament statistics, and Melbourne Stars hit a total of 36 sixes in 12 innings, averaging at 3 sixes per match, whereas Perth Scorchers hit 26 sixes in 12 innings averaging at 2.1 sixes per match. The sweetest thing about this deal is the fact that 10cric has offered odds of 2.20 for Melbourne to be the winner in the most match 6’s and this is beyond doubt, the most lucrative bet, which is a sure thing.

Perth Scorchers to have the highest score at 1st Dismissal

I have mentioned a few times in this article about how Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine are the top batsmen in this season, this is where that becomes really important. If you check the top partnerships in the season, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine have 3 of the top ten partnerships, and while Melbourne Stars players have had some great partnerships too, their opening partnership is not even on a level playing field. The highest opening partnership by the Scorchers has been 151 runs, this season. The highest opening partnership by the stars was 79 runs in the season. If we look at the past five head to head matches the fall of the first wicket was on the following runs:

Melbourne Stars:2, 18, 15, 59, 10

Perth Scorchers:48, 22, 147, 25, 9

So even though Perth Scorchers have lost 4 of the 5 previous matches, they still had a better opening partnership in 3 of the 5 matches, which includes both the games this season. I would also like to point out that Elyse Villani, the opening batsman for the Scorchers has not been able to face Sarah Glenn’s bowling, and got lbw on both occasions this season at 1 and 13 runs in the matches. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.75 for Perth Scorchers to be at the higher score at 1st dismissal and I think this bet is just money in the bag.
