Team News:

Western Storm

Captain Heather Knight has a batting average of 58 this season, and could be one of the picks for captain. Last season’s highest scorer, Smriti Mandhana is another player to look out for, despite her high price. Wicket-keeper batter Rachael Priest is another player who can change the game with the bat.

England international Fran Wilson is another of their many inform players, while the bowling department looks in good shape with Freya Davies, Claire Nicholas and Deepti Sharma to name a few.

Southern Vipers

Having lost the first two matches, fate did not back them for the next two matches. A washed out game and an exciting tie followed their loss in the third match, Still sitting second in the table, they would once again want Stefanie Taylor, their superstar so far in the tournament to come good. The ability to produce a match-winning performance with both bat and ball would make the West Indian all-rounder seems a direct pick in any fantasy team, and a good choice for captain. Natasha Farrant, with the ball, has been another player who has come good for them in the tournament.
