The Adelaide Strikers, defending champions, will kick off their Women’s Big Bash League 2023 (WBBL 2023) campaign on Saturday, October 21, at the Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide, when they take against Melbourne Strikers.
Adelaide won ten of the sixteen games they played last season, which was an incredible campaign. In the event, Australian all-rounder Tahlia McGrath did a great job leading her squad. She will take charge once more and try to motivate her squad to win back-to-back WBBL championships. The team is full of elite players, and if they gel together, there’s no reason they can’t go the distance once more.
Melbourne Stars finished sixth in the points standings the previous season despite playing hot and cold. They have, nevertheless, had a successful start to the most recent season. They faced Sydney Sixers Women in the opening game of the competition, and they prevailed in an exciting encounter by a margin of just two runs. Meg Lanning, the captain, scored an incredible half-century, and Maia Bouchier and Annabel Sutherland both had significant cameos. With four for, Sutherland was particularly impressive with the ball.
