Yorkshire Diamonds

Yorkshire Diamonds have not been able put up a great showing so far in the tournament despite a decent squad.

Although they haven’t found their rhythm yet, they can prove to be a great threat to opponents.

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.
