SS-W vs ST-W 31st Match Preview & Prediction: The Women’s Big Bash League 2025 continues with its 31st fixture as Sydney Sixers Women take on Sydney Thunder Women at the North Sydney Oval, Sydney, on Sunday, November 30, 2025, starting at 06:40 IST.

The Sydney Sixers Women’s team has won just two of their seven matches so far. Both of their victories came in chases, but their last match was controversial as the team that lost due to rain felt they should have played like the Sydney Thunder.

Meanwhile, the Sydney Thunder Women’s team is disappointing. The Jess Jonassen-led team has yet to win a single match this season. Their six-match losing streak was broken when their match against the Sydney Sixers was abandoned due to rain. Last season’s runner-up team will be desperate to pick up its first points.

In this article, we take a look at the SS-W vs ST-W Match Preview, Pitch Report, Prediction, and Stats.

Match Details – SS-W vs ST-W 31st Match

SS-W vs ST-W Team Preview & Analysis

Sydney Sixers Women

The Sixers have shown glimpses of brilliance this season, but have lacked consistency after their explosive opening win. With three wins from seven games, they need to tighten both their batting and bowling departments.

Ellyse Perry, Alyssa Healy, and Ashleigh Gardner form the backbone of the Sixers’ lineup. Gardner has been particularly impressive with the ball, taking 11 wickets in five innings, despite an expensive economy rate.

Key Players to Watch:

• Ellyse Perry

• Alyssa Healy

• Ashleigh Gardner

• Lauren Cheatle

Sydney Thunder Women

The Thunder have had a turbulent campaign, securing only two wins in seven matches. Their batting issues have been exposed repeatedly, but Tahlia Wilson has been the standout performer with 195 runs in six innings.

Their bowling looks sharper with Shabnim Ismail leading the attack, supported well by Samantha Bates and Taneale Peschel.

Key Players to Watch:

• Tahlia Wilson

• Phoebe Litchfield

• Shabnim Ismail

• Heather Knight

SS-W vs ST-W Pitch Report – North Sydney Oval, Sydney

The pitch at North Sydney Oval has not been easy for batters. Except for the massive 219/4 posted by Melbourne Stars Women earlier this season, most teams have struggled to put up big totals.

Pitch Characteristics:

• Pitch Type: Bowling-friendly early, settles later

• Average First Innings Score: 145

• Fast Bowling: Assistance with movement and bounce

• Spin Bowling: Useful in the middle overs

• Toss Prediction: Bat first — scoreboard pressure will matter
