A brand new edition of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) is upon us. The league will return for its 10th edition between October and December 2024.
The WBBL|10 will get off the mark on October 27, 2024. Defending champions Adelaide Strikers will be up against Brisbane Heat on the opening day, followed by Melbourne Renegades taking on Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers meeting Melbourne Stars.
Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder are the other two teams that will be in action. The final of the tournament is scheduled for December 1, 2024.
Here you can look at the complete schedule for the Women’s Big Bash League 2024 season.
Women’s Big Bash League 2024: Format
After revamping the Men’s BBL last season, Cricket Australia has decided to cut down on matches in the WBBL as well.
In the previous edition, each team played 14 games, facing the other seven teams twice in the league stage. But in the 10th edition, teams will play 10 matches each, meeting four sides once and three teams twice.
That brings down the total number of matches from 59 in 2023 to 43 this year. The WBBL, though, won’t see any changes in the playoff structure.
The top team will straightaway wheel into the summit clash, while the second-placed team will enter the challenger. One of the No. 3 and No. 4 teams will head to the challenger after clashing in the eliminator.
The winner of the challenger will then face off against the table toppers to claim the title of the WBBL champions.
