2018–19 Melbourne Renegades WBBL season
Open-knowledge reference entry
The 2018–19 Melbourne Renegades Women's season was the fourth in the team's history. Coached by Tim Coyle and captained by Amy Satterthwaite, they finished fourth in the regular season of WBBL|04 and qualified for finals for the first time in the team's history.
In a "heartbreaking" and "thrilling" semi-final loss at Drummoyne Oval—notable for its "miracle" last-ball finish, resulting in the run out of Sophie Molineux and forcing a super over—the Renegades were knocked out of the tournament by the defending champions, the Sydney Sixers.
Squad
Each 2018–19 squad featured 15 active players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Under a new rule, Australian marquees were classed as players who held a national women's team contract at the time of signing on for their WBBL|04 team.
Personnel changes for the Renegades ahead of the season included:
England's Danielle Wyatt returned to the squad, having played in the first two seasons before missing WBBL|03.
Sri Lankan Chamari Atapattu was not re-signed for WBBL|04.
Former Australian player Kris Britt retired at the end of WBBL|03.
Rhiann O'Donnell departed the team and joined the Hobart Hurricanes.
Although a permanent resident in Australia, Hayley Jensen would no longer be classified as a local player due to earning re-selection for her native New Zealand during 2018.

Why this record matters
The phrase “open-knowledge reference entry” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60766395. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
