The Sydney Thunder Women (ST-W) will look to build on their winning start when they take on the Brisbane Heat Women (BH-W) in the sixth match of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2026 at Drummoyne Oval in Sydney on Sunday, November 1.
The Thunder began their campaign with a six-wicket victory over the Melbourne Renegades Women at Junction Oval on October 29. Chasing a target of 139, they reached 140/4 in 17 overs to register a comfortable win. Phoebe Litchfield and her teammates will aim to carry that momentum forward and make it two wins in a row.
Meanwhile, the Brisbane Heat Women suffered a four-wicket defeat against the Sydney Sixers Women in their opening fixture. Batting first, the Heat posted 154/5 in 20 overs, but the Sixers chased down the target with four wickets and three balls to spare.

Probable Best Batter: Georgia Redmayne
Brisbane Heat skipper Georgia Redmayne will be one of the key batters to watch in this contest. The wicketkeeper-batter scored 58 runs off 44 deliveries in the opening match against the Sydney Sixers, striking eight boundaries. She will look to build on that performance and provide stability to the Heat's batting order.
Probable Best Bowler: Georgia Voll
Sydney Thunder's Georgia Voll could be a key player with the ball. The all-rounder picked up four wickets in her four overs against the Melbourne Renegades, conceding just 26 runs. She also registered a four-wicket haul in the match and will look to continue her impressive start to the tournament.
