Brisbane Heat skipper Georgia Redmayne became the ninth player in Women’s Big Bash League history to complete 3,000 runs, reaching the landmark in style with an unbeaten 74 off 50 balls against the Melbourne Stars on 12 November 2026. Her composed, boundary-laden innings powered the Heat to a third straight win in the 12th edition of the tournament, taking them to third place on the points table with six points from five games.
At the Junction Oval in Melbourne, Stars captain Meg Lanning won the toss and chose to bat first in the 19th match of the season. Melbourne Stars posted 165/5 in their 20 overs, setting Brisbane Heat a target of 166. Redmayne walked in at No. 3 in the chase and anchored the innings superbly, striking 12 boundaries in her match-winning 74*. Brisbane Heat got home in 18.5 overs with eight wickets in hand, and Redmayne was deservedly named Player of the Match.
The 32-year-old left-handed wicket-keeper batter entered the contest 56 runs short of the milestone. Her unbeaten half-century not only carried Brisbane Heat across the line but also placed her alongside an elite group of WBBL run-scorers: Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Sophie Devine, Meg Lanning, Elyse Villani, Alyssa Healy, Grace Harris and Katie Mack. It was a fitting way to reach 3,000 runs, under pressure, in a successful chase, and with the captaincy responsibility resting firmly on her shoulders.
A Journey Across Three Clubs
Redmayne’s WBBL journey began with the Hobart Hurricanes. She made her tournament debut for the Hurricanes on 10 December 2016 against the Perth Scorchers at Sydney. Across 42 matches and 41 innings for Hobart, she amassed 797 runs at an average of 22.13 and a strike rate of 93.43, including three half-centuries.
She then moved to the Perth Scorchers in 2019, debuting for the club on 23 October 2019 against the Melbourne Renegades at Melbourne. In 15 matches and 10 innings for the Scorchers, Redmayne scored 137 runs at an average of 15.22 and a strike rate of 95.13, with one half-century to her name.
Her most influential stint has come with Brisbane Heat, whom she joined in 2020. She made her Heat debut on 25 October 2020 against the Perth Scorchers at North Sydney. Since then, Redmayne has accumulated 2,084 runs in 82 matches and 81 innings at an average of 28.94 and a strike rate of 114.75, including 17 half-centuries. She is currently Brisbane Heat’s fourth-highest run-scorer in WBBL history.
Redmayne’s best WBBL score remains her unbeaten 98 off 67 balls for Brisbane Heat against the Melbourne Renegades at Mackay on 18 October 2022. Opening alongside Grace Harris, she struck 12 boundaries as the Heat posted 180/1. Melbourne Renegades could manage only 159/6, and Brisbane Heat won by 21 runs; Redmayne was again named Player of the Match.
Georgia Redmayne has accumulated 3,018 runs at a strike rate of 107.28 and an average of 25.79 in 132 innings, including 21 half-centuries in 139 matches with the bat for her clubs over the years since her debut in the tournament. Her latest half-century carries similar significance. In the ongoing 12th edition, Redmayne has scored 200 runs in five innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 129.03, with three fifties in five matches. She is Brisbane Heat’s second-highest run-scorer this season, behind Charli Knott, who has made 213 runs, and sits fifth among the tournament’s leading run-getters this season.
Brisbane Heat have been one of the most successful franchises in WBBL history, winning titles in the fourth (2018-19) and fifth (2019-20) editions. During that time, they became the only team to defend the WBBL title, and later finished runners-up in both the ninth (2023) and tenth (2024) editions.
With three consecutive victories behind them, Redmayne’s side now look well placed to build on their strong start. Brisbane Heat will next face the Hobart Hurricanes, led by Nicola Carey, on 14 November 2026 at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, with play beginning at 10:10 AM IST in the 21st match of the season. For Redmayne, the milestone is another reminder of her consistency, leadership and enduring value to the Heat’s WBBL campaign.
