Time to say goodbye! It has been an enthralling season of cricket in Australia. The 10th edition of the Women's Big Bash League has been fabulous to watch. There was plenty of drama, and at the end of it all, Melbourne Renegades broke the jinx to clinch their maiden title. The two-time champions, Brisbane Heat, have been kept away from their third title for the second successive season after coming that close.
For now, it's the trio of AkshayaKrishna Polya, Pritam Dey and Aditya Agarwal, who is taking your leave along with the scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi. We will meet you again. Until then, it is cheers!
Chloe Ainsworth of Perth Scorchers has been awarded for the best young cricketer of the tournament.
