This is the first game of the tournament for both teams. Both Victoria Women and New South Wales Women have named strong squads and boast some international firepower.

While there is Meg Lanning, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Molineux, Elyse Villani and Georgia Wareham on one side (Victoria), the likes of Alyssa Healy, Ashleigh Gardner and Rachael Haynes are on the other (New South Wales).

Victoria will be looking to bounce back after an inconsistent and middling 2019-20 season. They won four and lost four, finishing in fourth place in the points table.

Meanwhile, New South Wales finished at the top of the points table last season. They won six out of their eight games, including two with bonus points. Thus, it promises to be a fascinating encounter.

Pitch Report

The track at the Junction Oval in Melbourne might be a decent one to bat on. The bowlers should also have something in it for them.

The pacers are likely to find some early movement and there might be some spin on offer as well. It will most probably be an all-round track and thus, 250 could be a par score.
