The Perth Scorchers Women's team is a cricket team based in Perth, Australia that will compete in the inaugural women's Twenty20 Women's Big Bash League commencing in December 2015.[3] They will be one of eight founding teams. They are a franchise aligned with the current men’s competition (Big Bash League) – adopting the same colours and team name. The team is coached by Mark Atkinson.[4]

Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said in a media release, "We see T20 as the premium format of the women’s game and the WBBL is an exciting concept that will increase the promotion and exposure of women’s cricket".[5] Sutherland also said, "Our existing female domestic competitions are arguably the strongest in the world, with the continued success of the top-ranked women’s team, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars, a testament to that".
