The 2023 season was Sunrisers' fourth season, in which competed in the 50 over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup. In the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the side finished bottom of the group, losing all of their seven matches.[2] In the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, the side finished fourth, winning six of their fourteen matches, their first wins in the history of the competition.[3][4]
Sunrisers had three club captains throughout the season: from April to June, the side was captained by Kelly Castle, until she was replaced by Dane van Niekerk.[5] When van Niekerk's overseas stint with the side ended, Grace Scrivens took over the captaincy for the side's fixtures in September.[6] The side was coached by Andy Tennant for his first year in the role, having taken over from interim head coach Laura Marsh.[7] They played five home matches at the County Ground, Chelmsford, two apiece at the County Ground, Northampton and Brunton Memorial Ground, and one at Lord's.[8][9]
