Renegades Stun Heat, Bowling Them Out for 133 in WBBL Season 11 Opener
The Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) Season 11 kicked off with a thrilling start as the Melbourne Renegades outclassed the Brisbane Heat in the opening match at Allan Border Field, Brisbane.
Renegades captain Georgia Wareham won the toss and chose to bowl first — a decision that proved spot on. The Heat’s batting lineup struggled from the very beginning, folding for just 133 runs in 20 overs.
Young star Alice Capsey impressed with a fiery spell, taking 3 wickets for 22 runs, while Tess Flintoff matched her brilliance with 3 for 30, dismantling the Heat’s middle order. Their disciplined bowling and sharp fielding kept the Renegades in control throughout the innings.
With 134 runs to chase, the Renegades stepped in confidently, showcasing the strength of domestic talent amid the league’s new overseas player restrictions. The match not only highlighted the Renegades’ bowling depth but also set an exciting tone for what promises to be a fiercely competitive WBBL Season 11.
