Phoebe Litchfield, the 16-year-old batter has got her maiden call up for the series. She had a dream debut for Sydney Thunder and had smashed her maiden fifty in her first game of WBBL. Bridget Patterson has also got her spot in both the squads because of her brilliant performances in the ongoing T20 league. She has amassed 238 runs in 10 games while playing for the Adelaide Strikers.

The right-handed medium-pacer Sammy Jo Johnson, who plays for Brisbane Heat, had a commendable season till now in WBBL 2019. She has scalped 16 wickets in 12 games and is currently the third leading wicket-taker of this season. Sammy along with Molly Strano remain successful in making their way into the squads. The selectors have also awarded Belinda Vakarewa, who is the leading wicket-taker in the WBBL with 18 wickets, with a place in both the squads.
