The Match No. 13 of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025is scheduled to be played between Melbourne Stars Women (MS-W) and Melbourne Renegades Women (MR-W) at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Sunday, November 16. The two teams share an intense head-to-head record against each other.

The Stars' first match of the season was abandoned due to rain. They got to 184/5 before rain interrupted Adelaide Strikers' innings in the fourth over. Their next match against Perth Scorchers was also affected by rain. However, the Stars just about clinched the victory this time around. They have three points after two matches currently, and would aim to better that on Sunday.

The Renegades' first two matches resulted in wins. They were successful in chasing down targets against Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder. However, they lost out against Adelaide Strikers by seven wickets and 14 balls to spare.
