Southern Vipers

Having lost the first two matches, fate did not back them for the next two matches.

With 173 runs at an average over 57 and 4 wickets in as many matches, the West Indian all-rounder seems a direct pick in any fantasy team, and a good choice for captain. Natasha Farrant has been another player who has come good for them in the tournament with seven wickets in four matches.

Surrey Stars

The Stars have a strong middle order with the likes of Sarah Taylor, Natalie Sciver, & Dane van Niekerk. van Niekerk and Sciver can also win the match with the ball as well, and would be excellent choices for fantasy games. Lizele Lee is another another in-form all-rounder to watch out for.
