The 2019–20 Brisbane Heat Women's season was the fifth in the team's history. Coached by Ashley Noffke and captained by Kirby Short, the Heat finished first on the WBBL|05 ladder. They proceeded to defeat the Adelaide Strikers in the final at Allan Border Field by six wickets,[1] successfully defending their WBBL|04 title to claim a second consecutive championship. Keeper-batter Beth Mooney again earned Player of the Final honours, while Jess Jonassen won the Heat's Most Valuable Player award.[2]
Squad
Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas.[3] Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the beginning of the WBBL|05 signing period.[4][5]
The Heat made several personnel changes in the lead-up to the season:
- Ashley Noffke replaced Peter McGiffin as head coach.[6]
- Josie Dooley signed with the Melbourne Renegades to establish herself as a wicket-keeper—a role already occupied at Brisbane by Beth Mooney.[7]
- Jemma Barsby opted to "pursue a fresh challenge" with a move to the Perth Scorchers.[8]
- Vacant roster spots were subsequently allocated to young Queensland locals Charli Knott and Lilly Mills.[9]
- South African duo Laura Wolvaardt and Suné Luus were not re-signed for WBBL|05.[3]
- Overseas marquee positions were filled by New Zealanders Maddy Green and Amelia Kerr.[10][11]
The table below lists the Heat players and their key stats (including runs scored, batting strike rate, wickets taken, economy rate, catches and stumpings) for the season.[3][5][12][13][14][15]
