The Women’s Big Bash League 2022-23 season is set to start on October 13, with Brisbane Heat taking on Sydney Sixers at the Great Barrier Reef Arena. The full schedule for WBBL 2022-23 was announced on Thursday, July 7.
The participating teams for the eighth season of Australia’s premier domestic T20 cricket tournament for women are Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Stars, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Thunder, Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers.
The league phase, which will be played from October 13, 2022, to November 20, 2023, comprises 56 matches. Each team will play 14 round-robin fixtures - two each against the other seven sides in the competition.
The top four teams from the league phase will advance to the WBBL 2022-23 Finals series. The series consists of three matches - Eliminator, Challenger and The Final.
The teams that finished third and fourth will play in the Eliminator, with the winner set to take on the second-ranked team in the Challenger. The winning side from the Challenger fixture will then battle the top-ranked team for silverware in the Women’s Big Bash League 2022-23 Final. The dates for the Finals series will be updated once announced.
Perth Scorchers are the current defending champions and will begin their title defence against Sydney Thunder on October 16.
After three years, all matches of the Women’s Big Bash League 2022-23 will be played across the six major states in Australia. Furthermore, the WBBL schedule is tailored in a way to avoid clashing with the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 that will be hosted by Australia in the October - November window.
