Who needs what to progress in Women's Big Bash?

The Women's Big Bash group stage is nearing its conclusion.

The top four teams progress with the group stage leaders progressing automatically to the final on 1 December.

Third play fourth in the Knockout on 27 November, with the winner playing the second-placed team in the Challenger on 29 November for a place in the final.

Here is what each of the eight teams needs to progress to the knockouts:

Sydney Thunder: They would secure top and a final place with two wins. One win would see them progress but may not be enough for top.

Melbourne Renegades & Brisbane Heat: Only two wins would guarantee their progression, but one win is likely to be enough because of their inferior net run-rates.

Hobart Hurricanes, Perth Scorchers & Sydney Sixers: All three sides will likely need to win their remaining two matches to progress. Even then it is likely that net run-rate will decide who goes through.

Adelaide Strikers: They need to win their final game, while drastically improving their net run-rate, and hope that an unlikely set of results go in their favour.

Melbourne Stars: They likely need to win all three of their remaining games to have any chance of progressing. Even then it's likely to come down to net run-rate.
