Team overview
Perth Scorchers Women at a glance
Perth Scorchers Women are WA Cricket's women's Twenty20 franchise and one of the eight founding Women's Big Bash League teams. They share the Scorchers identity with the men's BBL side but maintain a separate squad, schedule and record.
The team won WBBL|07 in 2021 after finishing first in the league and defeating Adelaide Strikers in the Final. Perth have also been runners-up three times—WBBL|02, WBBL|03 and WBBL|11—and have reached the finals in eight of the first 11 seasons.
In WBBL|11, Perth placed third at 6–4 and 12 points. They beat Melbourne Stars by 28 runs in the Knockout and Sydney Sixers by 11 runs in the Challenger, before Hobart Hurricanes won the Final by eight wickets. The full campaign finished 8–5.
Beth Mooney led the team with 549 runs and made the official Team of the Tournament for a sixth time. Sophie Devine led the bowling with 15 wickets while adding 235 runs; Lilly Mills took 14 wickets and Chloe Ainsworth 13.
Before WBBL|12, a Scorchers development side is also scheduled for four T20 Spring Challenge matches in October 2026. That competition is shown separately because its selection and results are not the WBBL squad record.

League and season history
Perth Scorchers Women compete in the WBBL. Their October T20 Spring Challenge entry is a separate development competition, so its fixtures and eventual statistics are not mixed into the WBBL record. The Perth Scorchers men's BBL team and the community Perth Scorchers Women's League are also separate entities.
