WBBL Finals 2019 Programming Preview
The Brisbane Heat are the reigning champions following an enthralling finals series in 2018, and they have carried that form into the new season. They’ll enter the finals as one of the teams to beat this year alongside the Adelaide Strikers, who have shown enormous improvement in 2019 after a sixth place finish last season. Unlike last season, in which the final was held as a standalone event the week after the semi’s, all finals will take place on the same weekend this year, with the semi-finals to run on Saturday, the 7th of December. The winners of the Semis will advance through to the finals the following day, on Sunday the 8th.
