  3. Marizanne Kapp (SA-W): The biggest asset of Marzanne Kapp, the player is her ability to hit big. She can act as a ctatalyst in the middle-order and increase the scoring rate for the team. Kapp also bowls a couple of overs when the team needs it, so she is going to be a vital pick in this match.
