Melbourne Renegades Women Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Melbourne Renegades Women are one of the eight foundation Women's Big Bash League clubs. The Cricket Victoria-owned team is based at Junction Oval in St Kilda and is tracked separately from the men's Melbourne Renegades.

The Renegades rose from eighth in WBBL|09 to first in WBBL|10. They finished the 2024 league stage on top and defeated Brisbane Heat in the MCG final to win the women's program's first championship.

Their WBBL|11 title defence ended in fifth place despite a 5-5 record, ten points and a +0.121 net run rate. Georgia Wareham produced 277 runs and 19 wickets, winning the club award, the WBBL Golden Arm and the tournament player award.

WBBL|12 begins at Junction Oval against Sydney Thunder on 29 October 2026. The ten-match draw is complete, but the playing list and head-coach appointment remain unfinished after Simon Helmot stepped down in April.

The six names are the official WBBL|12 contracted core. The older 16-name record preserved the final WBBL|11 playing list plus unavailable contracted quick Tayla Vlaeminck, so it cannot be treated as the next season's squad.

Cricket Australia says WBBL final lists remain 15 players, which confirms that recruitment is incomplete. A current contract tracker should omit expired overseas deals and former replacements until the club announces a new agreement.

The newer dated club announcement says Helmot stepped down on 30 April 2026. An older coaching directory still displays him, but it does not overrule the later departure notice.

No replacement had been published by the checked date, so 'appointment pending' is more accurate than carrying Helmot forward or guessing from reported candidates. This is a case where page freshness changes the answer.

A level win-loss record did not guarantee a top-four place. The Renegades finished fifth on ten points with NRR +0.121, so their season ended after the ten-match league phase.

The table position, not the absence of a losing record, determined qualification. That is why the page records 5–5 as a missed-finals season rather than implying an extra knockout match.

Rain changed both chases. Against Brisbane, the Renegades were set 66 in eight overs and reached 66/3; against Hobart, the chase was reduced to 12 overs and the Hurricanes reached their adjusted target at 106/4.

The original first-innings totals still belong in the score record, but the DLS margins depend on revised targets and overs. Reading only 133 versus 66 or 155 versus 106 would produce the wrong winner or margin.

No. Five are Renegades-designated home fixtures; the 22 November derby at Junction Oval is a Melbourne Stars home match. The Renegades still play six times at the venue because both clubs share it.

Seven of the ten matches are scheduled in prime time, and the opening-day double-header is set to use the ground's new permanent lights. Venue count and home designation must therefore be read separately.
