Melbourne Renegades Women

It was a successful group stage for Melbourne Renegades Women during the 2021 WBBL as they won eight of their 14 contests and finished in second place. However, they were knocked out of the playoffs in the Challenger by Adelaide Strikers who beat them by nine wickets.

MR-W Batting

The bulk of the runs for Melbourne Renegades Women last year came from the Indian pair of Harmanpreet Kaur (406) and Jemimah Rodrigues (333) with England’s Eve Jones also contributing 236. Rodrigues is not playing in the tournament this year and Jones is featuring in the early games before Kaur’s arrival from the Asia Cup.

Kaur was the team’s top wicket taker in 2021 and also took the Player of the Tournament Award. However, in her absence in these opening matches, pace bowler Ellie Falconer, who took 10 wickets last year, will lead the attack for Renegades Women.
