The 2023–24 Sydney Sixers Women's season is the ninth in the team's history. Coached by Charlotte Edwards and captained by Ellyse Perry.[1][2][3][4][5][6] the Sixers finished the regular season of WBBL|08 in first position and set a new league record with eleven wins. They consequently qualified for their fifth Final appearance, returning to the knockout phase of the tournament for the first time since WBBL|04. In the championship decider, held at North Sydney Oval, the Sixers were defeated in an upset by the Adelaide Strikers. [7]

Squad

Nicole Bolton (retired), Ange Reakes (retired), Sophie Ecclestone (injury), Stella Campbell (Scorchers) and Angela Genford from last year's squad miss out this year's squad.[8] The 2023–24 season saw a players draft being held for the first time for Women's Big Bash League on 3 September 2023 for overseas players. Each club was able to sign up to three overseas players (not including replacement players).

  • Sydney Sixers picked Kiwi pacer Jess Kerr and South African all-rounder Chloe Tryon through draft while New Zealand's star all-rounder Suzie Bates was signed by direct nomination, skipping the draft.[9][10]
  • Linsey Smith of England was picked as replacement player for Sophie Ecclestone.
  • Mathilda Carmichael, Gabby Sutcliffe and Kate Pelle are the new domestic players who signed with Sixers.[11]
