Women’s Big Bash League is a competitive T20 cricket league which takes place annually in Australia. WBBL is owned by Cricket Australia and the upcoming edition will be the 9th season of the league.
WBBL 2023 is set to kick-off on 19th October with the first clash between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars. The Sixers ended the last season as the table-toppers and the runner-up team. 8 teams will battle it out against each other in a round-robin format. A total of 59 matches are scheduled to take place across 12 venues.
According to our analysis, we are backing Sydney Sixers to win the WBBL 2023 trophy. They have won 2 WBBL titles before in the year 2016 and 2017. The Sixers reached the final of the WBBL 2022 and finished as the runner-up team. Sydney Sixers are currently the bookmakers’ favourite to lift the trophy and they certainly have a title winning squad.
In the batting department, Ellyse Perry smashed 408 runs in 13 innings at an impressive average of 40.80. She is a reliable middle-order batter and she will be part of the Sixers clan again. She will be supported by Ashleigh Gardner and Alyssa Healy. Both of them scored 300+ runs in the 2022 edition. Maitlan Brown will feature in the Sixers squad again. She scored 105 runs at an aggressive strike rate of 161.53 in the last season.
Coming to the bowling line-up, Sydney Sixers will have to fill a void left by Sophie Ecclestone as she will miss this season due to shoulder injury. Ecclestone picked 20 wickets in the last season. Ashleigh Gardner was the leading wicket taker of the team with 23 wickets in 15 matches. Laurie Cheatle is also part of the team and she performed well in the last edition picking 16 wickets in 15 matches.
Melbourne Renegades had a disappointing outing in the last season, finishing at 7th spot with just 4 wins in 14 fixtures. We are backing the Renegades as the underdog team to win the WBBL 2023 edition.
They are yet to lift their first ever WBBL trophy and the team looks strong enough to have a chance at clinching the title.
Tammy Beaumont and Harmanpreet Kaur strengthen the batting line-up along with all-rounder Hayley Matthews. Matthews has been in good form this year. She won the Player of the Tournament award at the inaugural WPL season and she was the leading run scorer for the Renegades in the WBBL 2022. Courtney Webb scored 252 runs in the last season which was just 1 run less than Matthews.
Shabnim Ismail bowled well for the Renegades in the last season but she is not part of the team this year. Sophie Molineux and Hayley Matthews will lead the bowling attack.
