WNCL
The women’s domestic one-day competition, called the WNCL begins on the 13th October with New South Wales taking on South Australia. This series, like the series above, sees our finest women vying for national spots.
» How to live stream every WBBL game this season
Due to the introduction of the WBBL last season, the WNCL is expected to thrive with much bigger crowd attendances. Seven teams will be competing but instead of a National Performance Squad, an A.C.T team will compete.
There are two short breaks throughout the competition, which means it doesn’t conclude until December third. You can view the WNCL via the Cricket Australia Live App.
WBBL|02
The women’s big bash grew the popularity of women’s cricket profoundly last season and that trend is expected to continue.
The women’s teams train and play alongside the men’s teams which is a great luxury. Many games will also be double headers to attract large crowds.
Each team will play 14 matches, with the first match to be the Hobart Hurricanes taking on the Perth Scorchers. The final is 28th January.
Channel Ten will broadcast most matches, while the Cricket Australia app will have them all.
