Amanda-Jade Wellington
Somerset’s premier spinner, Wellington, has been the standout bowler for her side. With 17 wickets, including best figures of 4/47, she has been a consistent wicket-taker and also chipped in with the bat, scoring a fluent 53 in her last outing. Her dual skills make her a genuine match-winner.
Charlie Dean
Reliable and composed, Dean has been pivotal in holding Somerset’s middle and lower order together. With 12 wickets in 8 matches and the best of 3/50, she brings balance with her all-round ability and could prove decisive in pressure moments.

The Rose Bowl pitch offers something for everyone. Seamers are expected to find early movement, while spinners will enjoy grip and turn as the innings progress. Batters will need to spend time at the crease before playing their shots, making it a venue that rewards patience and skill.
