As with any new competition, there is plenty of interest in this tournament as many cricket fans hope to see that exciting mix of young up-coming players alongside some experienced and talented professionals.
For sure, many fans of Australia Women's cricket will have their eyes trained on the Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE but those keen to see what the next 10-15 years of cricket in the country will look like will be particularly keen to follow this tournament.
Neither Melbourne Renegades Women or Hobart Hurricanes Women had competitions to look back on fondly last year in the WBBL but this is a new season and a new tournament so anything is possible at the Karen Rolton Oval.

Plenty will be expected of captain Sarah Coyte in this game although Melbourne Renegades Women are by no means a one-person team thanks to the likes of Naomi Stalenberg and Courtney Webb.
Georgia Prestwidge is another talented player and there will be plenty of interest in the performance of Bronte Leishman who is a young pace bowler capable of generating high speeds.
Samara Dulvin has represented Australia under-19s previously and will now be looking to make an impact in the senior game. This is a fantastic opportunity for her to catch the eye particularly as Melbourne Renegades Women were so poor last season and so are open to bringing in a new generation of players ahead of this year's WBBL.

Hobart Hurricanes Women are another team who will look to give opportunities to some young players across this warm-up tournament but we expect them to use this game to give plenty of match-practice to their experienced group of players - of who there are many!
Former South Africa Women international Lizelle Lee has been a powerful presence in short format cricket for many years and she is likely to bat up the order alongside Heather Graham, Elyse Villani or Ruth Johnston.
Villani has long been a top performer in T20 cricket in Australia and although few expected her to be in the Australia side for the Women's T20 World Cup, she is one of the players who should stand out in this tournament.
Nicola Carey, Heather Graham, Ruth Johnston, Lizelle Lee, Hayley Silver-Holmes, Amy Smith, Lauren Smith, Molly Strano, Rachel Trenaman, Elyse Villani, Callie Wilson
Emma Manix-Geeves, Lizelle Lee, Elyse Villani, Tabatha Saville, Heather Graham, Nicola Carey, Ruth Johnston, Hayley Silver-Holmes, Lauren Smith, Molly Strano, Callie Wilson
There will be some cloudy conditions in Adelaide throughout this game but no rain is expected. The temperature will be at 19 degrees for the majority of the game with humidity levels not really an issue for either the batting or bowling side.
There is often not as much pace in the wicket at the Karen Rolton Oval compared to other pitches in Australia. T20 wise, the pitch averages team scores of 142 but with only five wickets down so even the bowlers have to work hard for their rewards as well. It could be a tough game for both batters and bowlers in this fixture.
With 16 of the 27 completed T20 games at the Karen Rolton Oval won by the side batting first, we expect the captains of both sides to choose to bat first when the toss takes place on Friday.
As with all teams in this warm-up competition ahead of the start of the WBBL later this month and with the WT20 World Cup in full flow, both sides are not at full strength. However, based on players available and form of last season, we are predicting a victory for Hobart Hurricanes Women.
