The Melbourne Renegades’ horrific run of form in the 2023 Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) continued on Saturday with a narrow four-run loss to the Melbourne Stars at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Saturday.
The Stars first posted 144-5 off their 20 overs after being put in to bat by the Renegades.
Captain Meg Lanning, who recently retired from international cricket, top scored with 67 from 49 balls and got good support from Annabel Sutherland who hit 24 and Alice Capsey who made 23.
Sarah Coyte took 2-32 from four overs for the Renegades.
The Renegades then fell agonizingly short of their target reaching 140-6 off their 20 overs.
Harmanpreet Kaur led the way with 37 while Tammy Beaumont got 33 and Matthews got her highest score of the season with 32, just her second time going over 30.
Sutherland completed an excellent all-round game with 4-22 from her four overs to be named player of the match.
