Players to watch out:
Laura Wolvaardt
The 25-year-old opening batter, from 20 outings in the competition, has amassed 651 runs at an average of 40.68 and a strike rate of 120.77, with a highest score of 90*. In the lead-up to The Hundred, Laura notched up two tons and a fifty, while in the T20s, she registered scores of 33, 22, and 9 against India. Carrying her momentum into the 2024 Hundred season opener, she scored a fine 37 and will be relied upon to capitalize on this form, leading the scoring.
Lauren Filer
The 23-year-old pacer has scalped 4 wickets from 13 outings in The Hundred, maintaining an economy rate of 8.15. However, in the recently concluded T20 season, she took 8 wickets from 5 outings, at an average of 11.25 and an economy rate of 5.00. Lauren returned figures of 0/15 (20) in the 2024 Hundred opener and will be backed to continue this form into the business end, while also being among the wickets.
Bryony Smith
The 26-year-old all-rounder, from 23 outings in The Hundred, has accumulated 504 runs at a strike rate of 130.23, while also taking 18 wickets from 22 innings, with best figures of 70 and 3/21. Bryony accumulated 206 runs from 11 T20s and took 4 wickets from 3 innings in a recent campaign. She has been in sublime form this domestic season, and it is hoped she follows up her score of 23 from The Hundred season opener with a big one.
Heather Graham
The 27-year-old all-rounder, from 11 appearances, has posted 164 runs at a strike rate of 128.12, while also taking 11 wickets, maintaining an economy rate of 7.05. In the lead-up to The Hundred, in a recent T20 competition, while Heather managed only 50 runs from 6 outings, she picked up as many as 15 wickets. Though she departed for a duck in the 2024 Hundred opener, she produced figures of 3/13 and can be relied upon for an all-round effort.
