WPL 2023: Best XI of the tournament

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt

Nat Sciver-Brunt is one the finest all-rounders in world cricket at the moment. She has accumulated 3009 runs in 94 ODIs at a strike rate of 94.68 and bagged 65 wickets at an economy of 4.46. Coming to the T20Is, she has piled on 2175 runs in 108 matches and bagged 79 wickets at an economy of 6.47.

Sciver-Brunt was simply sensational in the cash-rich league and showed the cricket fraternity why she is so highly rated. She featured in ten games and racked up 332 runs at a strike rate of 140.08. On the bowling front, the ace all-rounder took ten wickets in those outings at an economy of 7.12.

Sciver came to her own in the knockout games of WPL 2023. In the Eliminator clash against UP Warriorz, she hammered the opposition bowlers all across the park and plundered 72* runs off 38 balls. Also, the Tokyo-born took a prized wicket of Grace Harris to dent UP’s progress during the chase.

Again in the all-important final against Delhi Capitals, she played a calm and composed knock of 60* runs off 55 balls to take Mumbai across the line. Nat was adjudged the ‘Player of the Match’ for her majestic knock.
