Top Batting Performers
Ellyse Perry (SS-W)
The prime Australian all-rounder did a great job in the last match. Ellyse Perry delivered with both the bat and the ball to win the game for her team. However, the form that she is carrying makes her a probable top batting performer for the game.
Laura Wolvaardt (AS-W)
The South African skipper did not find the best form in the previous game. However, Laura Wolvaardt can be a destructive batter and take the game away from the opposition with her power hitting.
Top bowling performers
Sophie Ecclestone (SS-W)
The English left-arm spinner bowled a brilliant spell in the previous game. Sophie Ecclestone is known for her efficient spells and will be a key bowler in this match.
