Probable best batter of the match

Jemimah Rodrigues— Northern Superchargers

Jemimah Rodrigues is currently in the form of her life and has been the primary reason behind the Supercharger’s unbeaten run thus far. In the first game, she brushed aside the Welsh Fire with an unbeaten 92. In the second game against Trent Rockets, she churned out 60 crucial runs at the top of the order. She needs to be on top of her game in the next match as well.

Probable best bowler of the match

Lauren Smith— Northern Superchargers

Lauren Smith has been a tough nut to crack in the tournament. She has arguably been the standout batter for the Superchargers in the tournament. In eight overs, the left-arm spinner has only given away 26 runs at an economy rate of 0.65. Moreover, she has also picked up four wickets. The tweaker is her team’s joint-highest wicket-taker along with Katie Levick and Alison Davidson-Richards.
