Following the men’s tournament in Australia, we saw the launch of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) with the 2015-16 season, and there’s been no looking back since then. They don’t run simultaneously with the men’s tournament but they have their own window which is a great sign for women’s cricket not just in Australia, but around the world as well.
Hat-tricks in T20 cricket are super rare because it involves a bowler picking up 3 wickets in 3 consecutive deliveries. In the WBBL history so far however, there have been multiple occasions where bowlers from different teams have picked up WBBL hat-tricks. On this page, we’re listing down all of those different occasions, and the players dismissed by the bowlers who picked up hat-tricks as well. Keep reading…
The first WBBL hat-trick was picked up by Australian off-spin bowler Nicole Bolton who was representing Perth Scorchers at the time of this rare achievement. She hurt the Hobart Hurricanes Women team that da in 2015, picking up the hat-trick with two wickets in the 12th over and then the first ball of the 14th over as well, ending her day with figures of 3/24 in 4 overs.

From the batters who have been victims in these WBBL hat-tricks, it’s interesting to note that Corinne Hall is the only players to be a part of two different hat-tricks, being a victim to Nicole Bolton in WBBL 2015 and then again to Dane van Niekerk in WBBL 2017. Amy Satterthwaite was also one of the victims in the Bolton hat-trick but less than two years later, she picked up one herself with the ball in 2017.
It’s unfortunate to know that a hat-trick is not always enough to guarantee yourself victory in any match as Bolton and Darcie Brown both picked up WBBL hat-tricks for their respective teams in losing causes.
