Probable best batter of the match

Danielle Wyatt— Southern Brave

The fact that she has two T20I centuries to her name shows the potential Danielle Wyatt has. In the ongoing Hundred, she hasn’t disappointed one bit. In six matches, the right-hander has notched 135 runs at an average of 27 and a strike rate of 131.06. With a top score of an unbeaten 69, she has shown the damage she can do at the top of the order.

Probable best bowler of the match

Amanda Wellington — Southern Brave

Amanda Jade Wellington has been stupendous for the Brave in the tournament. With the ball in hand, she has picked up eight wickets and is also the leading wicket-taker for her team. Her economy rate of 0.80 shows that she has been able to put a lid on the run-scoring. Wellington will again be expected to deliver the goods in the next match.
