Players to watch out:
Maia Bouchier

Maia had a notable lead-up to this season of The Hundred, and though she had a decent start with scores of 35, 22, and 24, her subsequent scores read 0, 9, and 16. A dip in form, but she can be trusted to find her way back among the runs.
Chloe Tryon
The 30-year-old all-rounder in The Hundred, from 20 outings, has added 201 runs to the tally at a strike rate of 109.83, while bagging 8 wickets from 18 innings, maintaining an economy rate of 7.35. This season, Chloe has had a decent campaign, registering scores of 20, 25, 13, 13, 9, and 9*, and while she has bagged a couple of wickets, she has been economical and can be counted on for improved all-round efforts.

Bryony hasn’t been at her best this domestic season, and similarly, in this season of The Hundred, has only managed scores of 23, 8, 23, 0, and 34.
