Lanning form in focus as Stars target improvement

Melbourne Stars captain Meg Lanning is banking on a move to opener to turn around her WBBL season as the club faces a tough weekend of fixtures

Melbourne Stars captain Meg Lanning will persist with a move to open the batting as she continues to seek form in the Weber WBBL, and backed the side's young bowling unit to continue to improve.

The Stars skipper made the change to open last week against the Brisbane Heat, a move she described as "best for the team", notching an unbeaten 27 in a low-scoring run-chase in what was her highest score so far this season.

The switch up moved young allrounder Annabel Sutherland to No.3 which the captain said suited the youngster.
