BH-W vs SS-W: Brisbane Heat Women will lock horns against Sydney Sixers Women in Match 1 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), 2022 on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at Ray Mitchell Oval, Harrup Park.

Brisbane Heat Women had a decent WBBL season last year as they won eight out of their 14 league stage matches and finished third in the league standings. The likes of Amelia Kerr, Georgia Redmayne, and Grace Harris will hold the batting key of the team while Jess Kerr and Jess Jonassen will hold the impetus for the team’s bowling.

Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, had a forgettable WBBL campaign last year as they managed to win just four of their 14 matches and finished at the bottom of the table. Alyssa Healy, Suzie Bates, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, and Sophie Ecclestone will be their key players.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 1 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL), 2022 between Brisbane Heat Women and Sydney Sixers Women.
