Players to watch out:
Tammy Beaumont
A certified legend of the English international game, Beaumont is one of the most clinical and destructive opening batters in white-ball cricket. Her supreme ability to maximize the initial powerplay overs, combined with her technical mastery against both high-pace seam and spin, makes her the ultimate prize wicket for Surrey. If she manages to find an early rhythm on a true surface, she has the elite temperament required to bat deep into the innings and lay down a massive total. In 7 innings she has scored 183 runs of which her highest score is 99*.
Paige Scholfield
Scholfield is the absolute powerhouse and engine room of the Surrey middle order. Known for her aggressive counter-attacking style and brute power-hitting, she specializes in shifting the entire momentum of the game during the middle-to-death overs. Because she doubles as a highly effective medium-pacer who can break dangerous partnerships, her multi-dimensional skill set makes her a core tactical asset to help Surrey withstand pressure. In 8 innings she has scored 196 runs with the highest score of 89.
