Tammy Beaumont (Adelaide Strikers)

This season, she has been in good touch.Known for her elegant stroke play and ability to score quickly when required, Beaumont’s innings often include well placed boundaries and a smart mix of aggression and caution. Her composure under pressure and experience making crucial contributions in tight matches make her a player to watch closely.
Laura Winfield-Hill (Brisbane Heat)
Laura Winfield has been one of Brisbane Heat’s key batters with 943 runs in 70 WBBL matches and a strike rate close to 98. She provides an aggressive start and has been among the few consistent performers for the Heat this season.

Winfield’s ability to anchor and accelerate innings will be crucial for Brisbane’s quest to break their winless streak.
Lucy Hamilton (Brisbane Heat)
