The 18th match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025–26 brings together Brisbane Heat Women and Sydney Thunder Women at Allan Border Field, Brisbane. With both teams on the hunt for consistency, this fixture offers a valuable chance to climb the ladder.
Sydney Thunder arrives with a spring in their step after notching their first win of the season, a dominant nine wicket triumph over Perth Scorchers that ended their string of early losses. Prior to this, the Thunder had suffered setbacks against Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Renegades, and Sydney Sixers, but strong showings from their seasoned core and the steady hand of captain Phoebe Litchfield have lifted team morale heading into this encounter.
Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, are still searching for their maiden win of the campaign. They have endured three consecutive defeats to Melbourne Renegades, Perth Scorchers, and Hobart Hurricanes, putting pressure on their squad early in the tournament. Yet, standout performances from their leading all-rounders and glimpses of form from both the top and middle order keep the belief alive in the camp. The Heat will look to maximize the familiarity of home conditions and break their duck as the league gathers pace.
