Suzie Bates formed a potent opening partnership with Australia star Alyssa Healy in WBBL|08 and scored 318 runs for the season, including a season-high 82 not out against Adelaide Strikers.

In batting Sydney Sixers so far has Perry, Gardner, Healy, Chloe Tryon and Burns. In bowling they have Maitlan Brown, Gardner, Tryon, Cheatle, Jess Kerr and Kate Patterson.
