Bridget Emma Patterson (born 12 April 1994) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter for the South Australian Scorpions in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) and the Adelaide Strikers in the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).[1] [2]
A daughter of lavender farmers at Emu Bay on Kangaroo Island, Patterson played childhood cricket against boys, and credits that experience for her rise in women's cricket.[3]
In the final of the 2015–16 WNCL, Patterson scored 76 to anchor the Scorpions' innings of 7 for 264 against the New South Wales Breakers. The Scorpions won the match by 54 runs, thus ending New South Wales' 10-year grip on the WNCL trophy.[4]
Patterson has been a member of the Adelaide Strikers squad since the inaugural WBBL season.[5] Her run out of Molly Strano of the Melbourne Renegades during the Strikers' opening match of its WBBL02 campaign has been described as one of the highlights of that tournament.[6]
In September 2018, Patterson achieved her maiden century for South Australia, scoring a player-of-the-match-winning 109 off 131 balls in the Scorpions' opening round 2018–19 WNCL victory over Western Australia.[7]
Ahead of the WBBL|09 season, Patterson was named as the Strikers' wicket-keeper following the retirement of Tegan McPharlin.[8]
