Women’s Big Bash League 2023 Full Schedule: The Women's Big Bash League (WBB) 2023 is set to ignite the cricketing world with its high-octane matches, promising thrilling encounters as eight teams battle it out in a round-robin format.
With a total of 57 matches scheduled, the ninth season of WBB League will start on October 19 with a matchup between Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers Women. The season will conclude on December 2 with a final at North Sydney Oval, Sydney.
Each of the eight teams will play 14 fixtures in a round-robin format, with matches played both at home and away. Ten neutral matches are planned at various locations across Australia.
After the group stage matches, the team atop the table will advance straight to the championship game. The third and fourth-placed teams will compete in an Eliminator, and the winner advances to the final by taking on the second-placed team in the Challenger.
Instead of a six-over powerplay, all matches will have a four-over powerplay. Between the eleventh and twentieth overs, the batting side may request a two-over "power surge," during which time powerplay fielding restrictions will be in effect.
The sole Indian player selected in the Women's Big Bash League overseas draft was Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who was retained by the Melbourne Renegades.
WBB League will be live streamed on FanCode in India. Star Sports Network has the broadcast rights of the tournament in India.
