The final of the Women’s Big Bash League is all set to take place on December 1, Sunday. Melbourne Renegades are all set to face Brisbane Heat in the summit clash at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Melbourne Renegades have reached the final of the Women’s Big Bash League 2024 for the first time. Interestingly, four of the last five WBBL finals have been won by the home team. Jemimah Rodrigues is unlikely to feature in the WBBL 2024 final after suffering an injury to her left wrist, but her Indian compatriot Shikha Pandey is a favourite to start the match against the Renegades.

He was told he did not have it in him to make it big. But he did not give up. Mumbai’s Pravin Tambe made it to the IPL 2013 at the age of 41 when almost everyone would give up on their dreams. Tambe went on to take a hat-trick in IPL 2014 after making a long-awaited First Class debut for Mumbai in December 2013. Former India cricketer Rudra Pratap Singh (senior) cited Tambe’s example to inspire aspiring cricketers who would rub shoulders with former international players at the Big Cricket League . “We want to give them the experience of playing in a professional league.
