In a notable development from the 26th match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026 season between the Sydney Sixers and the Brisbane Heat, the toss has been delayed due to persistent rain and wet outfield.
The match, scheduled to be played in Adelaide, is currently on hold as steady rainfall has forced the ground staff to keep the covers firmly in place. At the moment, there are no indications that the weather will improve soon, raising concerns about how much play will be possible.
Adelaide Oval weather report
According to the latest weather updates from AccuWeather.com, Adelaide is experiencing a high of 22°C, with conditions originally forecast to include periods of sunshine followed by increasing cloud cover. The outlook also predicted isolated showers, eventually leading into more widespread afternoon rainfall.
Winds are blowing from the south-southwest at around 13 km/h. With precipitation levels listed at 100% and a 20% chance of thunderstorms, the chances of getting a full match appear slim. If the rain continues, the match faces the real possibility of being shortened significantly or even abandoned altogether.
Looking at the teams’ standings, the Brisbane Heat Women find themselves in a difficult position. They currently sit at the bottom of the table in eighth place, having lost all six of their matches so far and holding a net run rate of –1.045. Adding to their struggles, the team has been dealt a setback with Jemimah Rodrigues being released from the squad for the remainder of the tournament, further weakening their lineup.
In contrast, the Sydney Sixers enter this match in more promising form. They are placed fifth on the points table, with three wins and two losses from their five matches. The Sixers are also carrying momentum, fresh off a victory against the Hobart Hurricanes Women, and will be keen to build on that performance, weather permitting.
