WBBL Mini-Round-Up

 



Loath as I am to write about the WBBL in a blog called ‘Cricket That maybe Only I Care About’, coverage of it has been so hard to access in the UK that I feel obliged to offer a bit of a round-up.

 

Sydney Sixers have played three times in this year’s tournament, a match more than 4 teams and 2 matches more than 3 others – however that sense of fatigue may well be diminished by the fact they’ve won them all.

 

The data is, of course, skewed by the fact that they have played more games than anyone else but the Sixers women are also clean-sweeping all categories of success. Susie Bates has got the tournament’s highest score – 82* in yesterday’s game – and Elyse Perry is the tournament’s overall top scorer with 141…because of course she is.

In terms of bowling, two players have got fourfers so far with the Sixers’ Sophie Ecclestone being the most economical with 4-17 yesterday whilst Molly Brown has 7 wickets overall making her the leading wicket-taker.
