The 2018–19 Adelaide Strikers Women's season was the fourth in the team's history. Coached by Andrea McCauley and captained by Suzie Bates, they finished sixth in the regular season of WBBL|04 and failed to qualify for finals.
Squad
Each 2018–19 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Under a new rule, Australian marquees were classed as players who held a national women's team contract at the time of signing on for their WBBL|04 team.[1]
Personnel changes before and during the season included:
- Sarah Coyte returned to the team for the first time since WBBL|02, having won the WBBL|03 championship playing with the Sydney Sixers.[2]
- Overseas marquee Tammy Beaumont did not re-sign for the Strikers. The resulting vacant roster spot was filled by fellow England player Danielle Hazell.[3]
- Local teenage all-rounder Eliza Doddridge completed the 15-player squad.[4]
- Bridget Patterson fulfilled the wicket-keeping duties for the team in a 5 January 2019 match against the Brisbane Heat at Harrup Park, covering for Tegan McPharlin who had been granted leave.[5]
The table below lists the Strikers players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[6][7][8]
