Perth Scorchers Women Team Form
| Date | Opponent | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Oct 2026 | Adelaide Strikers Women | 118/5 in 18 overs | ✓ WIN by 5 wickets |
| 18 Oct 2026 | Sydney Thunder Women | 92 all out | ✕ LOSS by 8 wickets |
The semifinal win gives Perth the latest lift. Chloe Piparo led the chase without losing her wicket.
Ines McKeon gave the innings a quick start. Ainsworth then backed the chase with three wickets earlier.
Katie Mack made eight from five balls. Taneale Peschel finished unbeaten on five.
She also took one wicket for 21 runs. Lilly Mills and Ebony Hoskin were part of the bowling unit.
The earlier Thunder loss needs care. Perth made only 92.
Thunder chased that score with eight wickets left. That match was a poor batting result, not proof of a lasting pattern.
Sydney Sixers Women Team Form
| Date | Opponent | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Oct 2026 | Sydney Thunder Women | 153/6 in 19.3 overs | ✓ WIN by 4 wickets |
| 18 Oct 2026 | Melbourne Stars Women | 155/8 | ✕ LOSS by 5 wickets |
Sydney Sixers Women answered their recent loss well. They chased 153 in the second semifinal.
Cheatle stayed until the end. Coyte added a fast unbeaten finish.
Kua hit four fours and one six. Hunter made 22 from 24 balls.
Erin Burns was dismissed without scoring. Her captaincy role does not ensure fantasy value.
The bowling group also mattered. Cheatle took three early wickets against Thunder. Coyte took two wickets.
Courtney Sippel took one wicket. These are direct semifinal facts only.
Pitch Report And Fantasy Impact
Cricket Central hosted both completed semifinals. This gives a sample of just two matches.
Both came at this ground in this event. It is not a long ground record.
The first semifinal saw 116/6 before Perth chased 117. The second saw Thunder make 152/9 before Sixers chased 153.
Both matches were won by the chasing side. That points to useful chase value in this tiny sample.
The sample also shows two different totals. One innings stayed low. The other passed 150.
So a fixed par score would be unsafe. Read the first overs before locking a team.
A flat start can help top-order batters. A slower pitch can reward all-rounders.
Seamers gain value if the ball moves early. These are match conditions, not confirmed final-day facts.
Dream11 roles mean simple player types. WK means wicketkeeper. BAT means batter.
AR means all-rounder. BOWL means bowler.

Recent Head-To-Head Record
No earlier completed meeting was verified before this final. The two 20 October semifinals were different matches.
Their scores help current-form reading. They are not head-to-head records.
That leaves the final as a fresh matchup. Perth bring a successful chase from the first semifinal.
Sixers bring a successful chase from the second. The toss may change the best fantasy script.

Captain And Vice-Captain Choices
Chloe Piparo is a captain option after 57 not out in the semifinal. She also leads the Scorchers. The risk is a final against a fresh Sixers bowling plan.
Lauren Cheatle offers a strong reply. She made 46 not out and took three wickets in the other semifinal. Her final role must be confirmed.
Chloe Ainsworth has two paths. She scored four and took 3/17. That makes her useful when wickets matter.
Sarah Coyte made 16 not out and took 2/22. Her value rises if she bowls her full spell.
Toss-day repair checklist: confirm both XI lists. Check app roles and credits. Check the batting order.
Check who bowls with the new ball. Keep the chosen match script. Do not change only C/VC without reason.
Top 3 Player Battles
Chloe Piparo Against Sixers Seam
Piparo made 57 not out in the semifinal. Sixers can test her with early movement. The battle depends on the new-ball plan and Piparo’s batting position.
Lauren Cheatle Against Perth Top Order
Cheatle took three wickets against Thunder. Perth’s top order must handle her first spell. If the ball stops moving, her batting may become the stronger route.
Chloe Ainsworth Against Sixers’ Middle Order
Ainsworth took three wickets against Adelaide. Sixers have Coyte, Brown and Bray in their wider group.
This is a conditions-based matchup. No direct ball-by-ball record is claimed.
Top Players To Look Out For
Chloe Piparo carries recent captain and batting evidence. Ines McKeon also made 30 in the semifinal. Katie Mack remains a top-order option, but her final role is not confirmed.
Cheatle has the clearest two-way semifinal record. Coyte finished quickly and took two wickets.
Kua’s 35 from 19 balls gives Sixers early batting appeal. Ainsworth combines wickets with lower-order batting.
Mikayla Friday appears in the official squad and had 145 tournament runs in the CA list before the final. That earlier number is not a final scorecard result. Her place in the XI must still be checked.
Match Winner Prediction
The evidence is close. Perth Scorchers Women won the first semifinal.
Sydney Sixers Women won the second. Both teams chased successfully at this venue.
The modest editorial lean is Perth Scorchers Women. Their semifinal win had control through Piparo and Ainsworth.
This is not a guarantee. A strong Sixers chase or early Perth wickets can change the result.
