The cricket carnival in Australia is back and so is the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL). The much-anticipated curtain raiser of the tournament is set to take place between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers on Thursday, October 13 at The Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay. 

Brisbane Heat had an average WBBL season in 2021. They won eight of their 14 league stage matches and finished the season in the third position on the WBBL 2021 leader board. They lost the Eliminator game against Adelaide Strikers and were knocked out of the tournament. 

This year, Brisbane has a solid batting order at their disposal as well as a potent bowling attack in their arsenal. Overall, the likes of Jess Jonassen, Grace Harris, Amelia Kerr, and Laura Harris will hold the impetus for the team, and they will look to go the distance this season.

Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, had a nightmarish season last year as they managed to win just four of their 14 league stage matches and ended the campaign at the bottom of the table. They will be keen to make amends and spark a turnaround this year with the star all-rounder Ellyse Perry at the helm.

Key Players 

  • Jess Jonassen: She is one of the most experienced players of the Brisbane Heat and will be the key to the team's success this year. In the 94 T20I, she picked 87 wickets while with the bat, she accumulated 432 runs. 
  • Amelia Kerr: The New Zealand all-rounder has played 52 T20Is so far, in which she has mustered 423 runs. She has been terrific with the ball as well, scalping 50 wickets in 51 innings at an economy of 5.93. 
  • Ellyse Perry: The Sydney Sixers' captain brings a lot to the table, and she is going to be one of the most valuable players to the team with her experience. In 126 T20Is, she scored 1253 runs and 115 wickets. 
  • Georgia Redmayne: The left-handed wicket-keeper batter has been one of the most consistent run-getters for Brisbane Heat. She has garnered 794 runs from 28 WBBL appearances with 71 being her highest score in the tournament.
