With Perth Scorchers winning their first ever title last year, we can say that all the teams in the WBBL are quite strong and have the potential to lift the trophy. Let’s take a look at the possibilities of this year’s edition of the Women’s Big Bash League.
Looking at the odds for this year’s WBBL, we can say that the current champions, Perth Scorchers are the favourites with the price of 4.50 at Betway, Parimatch and 1xBet.
Another betting favourite team is Adelaide Strikers which has impressed us all in last year’s edition. Strikers were the runners-up last year and just fell 12 runs short to clinch their first ever WBBL trophy.
Due to their quality performance last year, Strikers are the 2nd in line to be the favourites of this year’s edition. The Tahlia McGrath led team is powered up by the overseas players Deandra Dottin and Laura Wolvaardt. Strikers’ Amanda Jade-Wellington was the leading wicket taker last season picking 23 wickets in 17 matches.
The power-packed Melbourne Renegades finished the last season at the 2nd spot on the points table with 18 points. They were knocked out by Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger match. Sophie Molineux-led Melbourne Renegades is out Underdog pick for this year’s edition.
Renegades have some high quality overseas players like Harmanpreet Kaur, Hayley Williams and Shabnim Ismail. Harmanpreet Kaur was awarded the Player of the Tournament in WBBL 2021 for her brilliant all-round performance scoring 406 runs at an average of 58.00 and picking 15 wickets with an economy of 7.45.
Melbourne Renegades is the top pick to go for an underdog team in the outrights. Betway and Parimatch are offering a generous 5.50 for the Melbourne Renegades win in WBBL 2022-23 season.
As far as our prediction is concerned, we are backing Adelaide Strikers to emerge victorious in WBBL 2022 season 8. Skipper Tahlia McGrath performed quite well in the last season scoring 338 runs and picked 12 wickets. Katie Mack finished last season as the leading run scorer for Strikers scoring 513 runs in 15 innings at an impressive average of 64.12.
The team also features top quality overseas players like Laura Wolvaardt and Deandra Dottin. Wolvaardt scored 381 runs in 16 innings in the WBBL 2021 while Dottin will feature for Strikers for the first time.
Leading wicket takers of the Strikers for last season - Darcie Brown and Amanda-Jade Wellington will be at their side once again. Wellington picked 23 wickets to emerge as the top wicket taker of the season while Brown picked 20 wickets.
Seeing the above stats and the recent form of the players, we can say that Adelaide Strikers have a good chance of winning this year’s WBBL.
