Danielle Wyatt— Southern Brave

Danielle Wyatt has been exceptional for the Brave at the top of the order. She doesn’t mind going for the extravagant strokes and can ease the ball through the offside. In four matches, Wyatt has scored 109 runs at an average of 36.33 and a strike rate of 136.25. After his match-winning 69 against Birmingham Phoenix, she scored 21 against the Spirit.

Amanda Wellington— Southern Brave

Amanda Jade Wellington is one of the primary reasons behind the Brave’s dominance in the tournament. She failed to get a wicket in the first game but is currently the leading wicket-taker for her team with eight scalps. Moreover, she has bowled at an economy rate of 0.73 and also got a four-wicket haul in her team’s previous game.
