When it comes to the Sydney Sixers, it isn't long until the word 'success' comes into the conversation.
A juggernaut across the BBL and WBBL competitions, the Sydney Sixers have been etched into Big Bash history from just about the outset, claiming the BBL's maiden championship and following up with a WBBL title in the league's sophomore season.
Much like their fierce rivals in the Perth Scorchers, the Sixers' might has been accentuated by prolonged periods of success at the top of the table. The Sixers have added three BBL (BBL|01, BBL|09, BBL|10) and two WBBL titles (WBBL|02, WBBL|03) to their silverware cabinet, however have finished runner-up on eight separate occasions.
While their cross-town rivals in the Sydney Thunder have long been a fierce rival across the BBL and WBBL competitions and famed 'Sydney Smash' fixtures, the rivalry between the Sixers and Scorchers has arguably been the most defining and enduring, particularly in finals.
Accompanying their many successes, the Sixers have been graced by some of the Big Bash's finest players and record-breakers, who have left, and continue to create, lasting legacies in magenta.
Icons Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy easily sit among the elite of not just the Sydney Sixers, but Australian cricket and women's sport at large. Of Perry's 11 completed seasons to-date, she has captained the Sixers for 10 and finished as her side's leading run-scorer nine times, while Healy's decorated career saw her hang up the club's as the WBBL's greatest ever 'keeper, and arguably the best ever player.
In the BBL, Sean Abbott is the competition's all-time leading wicket-taker and only continues to extend his lead at the top, while the recently retired Moises Henriques bowed out as a two-time title-winning captain and the league's most-capped player on 154 matches.
