The Adelaide Strikers (WBBL) are an Australian women’s Twenty20 cricket team based in North Adelaide, South Australia. They compete in the Women’s Big Bash League.
One of eight founding WBBL teams, the Adelaide Strikers are aligned with the men’s team of the same name. At the official WBBL launch on 10 July 2015, Megan Schutt was unveiled as the team’s first-ever player signing. Andrea McCauley was appointed as the Strikers’ inaugural coach, while Lauren Ebsary became the team’s inaugural captain.
The Strikers played their first match on 12 December at Aurora Stadium against the Hobart Hurricanes, losing by two runs. Their first win came on 20 December at Allan Border Field against the Sydney Thunder, chasing down a target of 149 runs with six wickets in hand and six balls to spare.
