The 2021–22 Adelaide Strikers Women's season was the seventh in the team's history. Coached by Luke Williams and captained by Tahlia McGrath, the Strikers ended the regular season of WBBL07 in fourth place, qualifying for the knockout stage of the tournament.[1] They proceeded to defeat the Brisbane Heat and the Melbourne Renegades in sudden death encounters to book a place in the Final against the Perth Scorchers at Perth Stadium on 27 November 2021.[2] In the championship decider, the Strikers were defeated by 12 runs, resulting in their second runners-up finish in three seasons.[3]
