The 2017 season was Western Storm's second season, in which they competed in the Women's Cricket Super League, a Twenty20 competition. The side finished third in the initial group stage, therefore progressing to the semi-final, where they beat Surrey Stars by three wickets.[1][2] In the final, they faced Southern Vipers in a repeat of the previous season's final. This time, however, Western Storm were victorious by seven wickets to claim their first title.[3]

The side was captained by Heather Knight and coached by the newly appointed Trevor Griffin.[4] They played one of their home matches at the County Ground, Taunton and their other home match at the County Ground, Bristol.[5]
