Have we just witnessed the greatest opening week of a WBBL season? Meg Lanning is back and she led the Melbourne Stars to an upset win over the Sydney Sixers on their home turf. But then, barely believable scenes unfolded as the Stars were rolled for 29 by the Adelaide Strikers! A host of young quicks including Milly Illingworth and Chloe Ainsworth have lit up the competition. The Sydney Thunder have shaken the underdog tag with Phoebe Litchfield in scintillating touch. And of course, there's Grace Harris. Grace whacked an unbeaten 136no - the highest WBBL score of all time at North Sydney Oval - and in the process, sent the internet into overdrive by hitting a super six with a broken bat. This week on the Scoop, Brisbane Heat allrounder Georgia Voll joins Laura and Emily to recap a wild opening week and the Heat's dream start to the season. Hosted on Acast.
