Adelaide Strikers Women are the new champions of the Womens Big Bash League. They defeated Sydney Sixers Women in the finals by 10 runs.
The Womens Big Bash League 2022 came to an end on 26th November 2022. The finals were held between Adelaide Strikers Women and Sydney Sixers Women. The Strikers won the toss and opted to set the target. The top order was unable to make much of an impact on the scoreboard. Deandra Dottin’s unbeaten 52 runs took Adelaide Strikers to a total of 147 at the end of the first innings.
However, the score did not look enough against the destructive batting lineup of the Sydney Sixers Women. The Sixers Women were favorites for the win but the Adelaide Strikers Women kept their faith intact.

In the third over, the Strikers dealt the Sixers their first major blow by dismissing dangerous Healy. A series of constant wickets followed. The middle order collapsed completely. Sixers Women strongest suit, their batting could not step up at the main stage.
Maitlan Brown did try at the end but could not cross the finish line. As a result, Syndey Sixers Women fell short by mere 10 runs and lost the finals. Adelaide Strikers Women won their maiden Women’s Big Bash Title in 8 seasons.
Tahlia McGrath and co. did not have a smooth road. They stumbled at the start of the tournament and lost a few games. However, all they needed was one win to boost their confidence. They got that, and from then, they went on to win 4 successive games in a row.
Deandra Dottin was named player of the match for her match-winning half-century. Moreover, Ashleigh Gardner was announced as the player of the series.
The months long caravan of Women’s Big Bash League 2022 finally came to an end. It was yet another tournament filled with thrills and excitement. Let’s hope for an even better season next year.
