Players to watch out:
Richa Ghosh
The 20-year-old keeper-batter, from 7 outings in The Hundred, has added 116 runs to the tally, registering a best of 34. Richa, from 44 T20I outings, has accumulated 860 runs at an average of 28.66 and a strike rate of 140.52. Though Richa departed for 9 in her The Hundred 2024 opener, in the lead-up to the competition, she registered scores of 64*, 6*, and 30, and can be counted on for cameos.
Charis Pavely
The 19-year-old left-arm off-spinner has bagged 6 wickets from 7 games in The Hundred and can also be handy with the bat on a few occasions. Charis, from 8 T20s, bagged 7 wickets and chipped in with 59 runs ahead of The Hundred 2024, where her returns read 0/27, 0/23, 2/20, and 3/21. Given her momentum and recent success, she can be relied upon for breakthroughs.
Alice Davidson-Richards
The 30-year-old all-rounder in The Hundred has accumulated 228 runs from 20 innings and taken 24 wickets from 23 outings, with best performances of 42 and 3/20. Alice has had a quiet run in the 2024 domestic season, accumulating just 86 runs from 7 T20 outings and a wicket in two innings during that campaign. In The Hundred 2024, she has registered scores of 9 and 27 and should be backed to step up her efforts.
Kate Cross
The 32-year-old pacer, averaging 18.67 and maintaining an economy rate of 7.44, has picked up 34 wickets from 27 appearances in The Hundred. With 7 wickets from 6 T20s and runs down the order, Kate has carried her form into The Hundred 2024, producing figures of 0/29, 1/24, 2/15, and 4/20, alongside scores of 5 and 10*.
