WBBL's Journey From 2015

The WBBL (Women’s Big Bash League) has really made a name for itself as a thrilling tournament that champions women's involvement in cricket. One standout moment was when Indian cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur made history in mid-2016 by becoming the first Indian player to sign up for the league with Sydney Thunder. 

Grace Harris, the talented Australian all-rounder, also added excitement to the league by notching up the first-ever century in the inaugural season. The league has seen some incredible talent, from Meg Lanning's early brilliance to Ash Barty's short-lived but memorable stint. 

The 2019 final was a nail-biter, ending in a dramatic Super Over, while the 2020 season took place in a bio-secure bubble, proving the league's resilience. And how can one forget Grace Harris's hilarious "Stuff it, I'll still hit it" moment with her broken bat, which pretty much sums up the fun and fierce spirit of the WBBL.
