Brisbane Heat Women will face Sydney Sixers Women in Match 3 of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026 on Friday, October 30, at Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Brisbane Heat endured a disappointing 2025 season, finishing at the bottom of the table without winning a match. They will aim to make a fresh start and begin the new campaign with a victory. Meanwhile, Sydney Sixers finished second in the group stage last season but lost to Perth Scorchers Women in the Challenger. They will look to build on their previous performance and begin their campaign strongly. Grace Harris will be a key batter for Brisbane Heat, while Melie Kerr could play a crucial role with the ball for Sydney Sixers.


Pitch Report: 

Allan Border Field generally offers balanced conditions for both batters and bowlers. The grassy surface provides good bounce and carry, allowing batters to play attacking strokes once settled, while fast bowlers can benefit from the extra bounce. Spinners may also come into play as the pitch wears down, making adaptability important for both teams.

Head-to-Head Record:

Matches Played: 22 

Brisbane Heat Women Won: 13

Sydney Sixers Women Won: 9

Brisbane Heat Women Probable Playing XI:

Georgia Redmayne (C & WK), Grace Harris, Charli Knott, Lucinda Bourke, Orla Prendergast, Annie O'Neil, Sarah Glenn, Grace Parsons, Lucy Hamilton, Lily Bassingthwaighte, Bonnie Berry.

Sydney Sixers Women Probable Playing XI:

Maddy Darke (WK), Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Melie Kerr, Erin Burns, Sarah Coyte, Maitland Brown, Lauren Cheatle, Courtney Sippel.
