Adelaide Strikers Squad Ready for Melbourne Leg in WBBL 09
The Adelaide Strikers have embarked on a thrilling journey to Melbourne with the same 14-player squad that secured a record-breaking victory in their WBBL|09 season opener. Their remarkable performance has set the stage for two consecutive matches against Melbourne-based teams.
Remarkable Season Opener
In their spectacular WBBL|09 debut match, hosted at Karen Rolton Oval in front of their passionate home crowd, the Strikers displayed their prowess by amassing a formidable total of 177 runs in the first innings. This commanding performance was orchestrated by the Player of the Match, Katie Mack.
Record-Breaking Bowling Performance
The second innings witnessed an extraordinary display of bowling prowess as the Adelaide Strikers bowled the Melbourne Stars out for an all-time league low of just 29 runs. Megan Schutt and Amanda-Jade Wellington were the chief architects of this stunning feat, each claiming three wickets. The Stars succumbed within 10 overs, leaving the Strikers with a resounding victory.

Such was the dominance of the Strikers that even their two debutants, the English all-rounders Georgia Adams and Danielle Gibson, who were presented with their blue caps before the match, weren’t called upon to bat or bowl.
