The 2021–22 Perth Scorchers Women's season was the seventh in the team's history. Coached by Shelley Nitschke and captained by Sophie Devine, the Scorchers finished the regular season of WBBL|07 on top of the ladder to claim their first minor premiership.[1] They hosted the championship decider at Perth Stadium on 27 November 2021, defeating the Adelaide Strikers by 12 runs to win a maiden WBBL title. Marizanne Kapp was named Player of the Final for her influential all-round performance, scoring 31* off 23 deliveries and producing bowling figures of 1/25 from four overs.[2] For the second consecutive season, batter Beth Mooney was the league's leading run-scorer.
Squad
[edit]Each 2021–22 squad was made up of 15 active players. Teams could sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees were defined as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|07 signing period.[3]
Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:
- English marquees Amy Jones and Sarah Glenn did not re-sign with the Scorchers in anticipation of a clashing schedule with national team duties.
- South African marquee Marizanne Kapp signed with the Scorchers, departing the Sydney Sixers.
- Sri Lankan marquee Chamari Athapaththu signed with the Scorchers, having previously played for the Melbourne Renegades.
- Nicole Bolton departed the Scorchers, signing with the Sydney Sixers.
- Alana King signed with the Scorchers, departing the Melbourne Stars.
- Jemma Barsby departed the Scorchers, signing with the Adelaide Strikers.
- Emma King departed the Scorchers, retiring from cricket after WBBL|06.
- Lisa Griffith signed with the Scorchers, departing the Sydney Sixers and having previously played for the Sydney Thunder.
- Lilly Mills signed with the Scorchers, departing the Brisbane Heat.
- Ashley Day signed with the Scorchers, having previously played for the Hobart Hurricanes.
