WBBL|11 : Brisbane Heat face Melbourne Renegades in the opener
Brisbane Heat are set to open their 2025-26 campaign in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL|11) with a blockbuster rematch of last season’s final, facing Melbourne Renegades on Sunday (9 November) at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Last season, the Renegades claimed their maiden WBBL title by defeating the Heat in the final.
Heading into the opener, Heat face a massive challenge, with all-rounder Grace Harris being unavailable due to a calf strain, and her availability for WBBL|11 remains unclear. Additionally, Heat's young bowling all-rounder Grace Parsons has been ruled out for the season on medical grounds. Despite these setbacks, the Heat would hope to get off to a rollicking start.
Melbourne Renegades, on the other hand, will be without their captain and all-rounder Sophie Molineux, as she is unavailable for at least the first two games of the campaign with a quad strain. Renegades will also be missing the services of star all-rounder Hayley Matthews, who was ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury.
