Bridget Patterson
Bridget Patterson is an Australian cricketer who plays for South Australian Scorpions and Adelaide Strikers.
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.
In the final of the 2015–16 Women's National Cricket League competition, Patterson scored 76 to anchor the South Australian 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.
Patterson has been a member of the Adelaide Strikers' squad since its inaugural WBBL01 season. 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 campaign.
In September 2018, Patterson achieved her maiden century for South Australia, by scoring a player-of-the-match-winning 109 off 131 balls in the Scorpions' opening round WNCL 2018–19 victory over the Western Fury.
In November 2018, she was named in the Adelaide Strikers' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.
