WBBL 2024, MS-W vs HB-W:
- Date and Time: November 3, 04:40 IST/11:10 PM GMT (November 2)/10:10 AM Local
- Country: Junction Oval, Melbourne
Oval intersection height ratio:
The Junction Oval is renowned for providing a balanced and competitive playing surface that gives all players – batsmen, bowlers and all-rounders – an equal opportunity to showcase their skills. Historical data suggests that teams opting to bat first may enjoy a slight advantage in this spot. As the match progresses, the pitch usually shows signs of wear and tear, making it increasingly difficult for batters to score freely. Consequently, putting up a solid total early on can be crucial for teams looking to secure victory.
