Players to watch out:
Alice Capsey
The 19-year-old all-rounder in The Hundred has amassed 530 runs at a strike rate of 130.86 from 26 outings, and from 19 bowling innings has taken as many wickets at an economy rate of 6.37. Alice was in notable form ahead of The Hundred 2024 and kicked off this season with consecutive fifties. Although she has only managed scores of 10, 27, and 2 in subsequent games, it is hoped she capitalizes on these scores.
Marizanne Kapp
The 34-year-old all-rounder, from 21 appearances in The Hundred, has posted 522 runs at a strike rate of 130.17 and has taken 32 wickets at an economy rate of 6.07, with best figures of 64* and 4/9. Marizanne has registered scores of 7, 26*, 47, and 19*, while also recording bowling figures of 1/21, 1/19, 0/25, 4/11, and 0/20. She is a seasoned all-rounder and can be relied upon for the goods.
Danni Wyatt
The 33-year-old opening batter, averaging 29.62 and striking at 135.91, has piled on 859 runs from 31 appearances in The Hundred, with a highest score of 69*. Danni was in decent form ahead of the competition, registering a solid 59 in the season opener, and followed up with scores of 2, 61, 43, and 14. As always, she has time and again stepped up with substantial scores and can be counted on for more of the same.
Lauren Cheatle
The 25-year-old left-arm pacer, from 78 outings in the Women’s Big Bash League, Australia’s premier T20 competition, has secured 81 wickets at an economy rate of 6.57. Lauren last took the field in January this year; her season was cut short due to a cancer procedure. Although she had a quiet start to her maiden The Hundred stint, her recent returns read 1/34, 1/14, and 2/8. She’ll be backed to build on her recent success.
