History of the WBBL
Cricket Australia launched the Women Big Bash League in 2015-16, inspired by the success of the Men's Big Bash League. With eight city-based franchises, the WBBL was all set to take women's T20 cricket to another level. Sydney Thunder won the title in the inaugural season.
Since then, the league has grown exponentially, signing top international players and becoming one of the most-watched leagues in women's T20 cricket worldwide.
