WPL 2023: Best Overseas XI from first week
Certain overseas cricketers brought their A-game into play in the first week of WPL 2023.
5. Heather Knight
Heather Knight has been a prominent figure in the international arena. The 32-year-old has accumulated 3589 runs in 129 ODIs at an average of 36.25 and bagged 56 wickets at an economy of 4.35. Coming to the T20Is, she has notched up 1583 runs in 98 matches at a strike rate of 118.31 and taken 21 wickets for her side.
Royal Challengers Bangalore signed Knight for WPL 2023 to add depth to the side and the England skipper has been phenomenal in the T20 carnival thus far. She has hammered 66 runs in four games at a stunning strike rate of 188.57 and bagged four wickets for the RCB franchise.
Knight was quite brilliant in the encounter against Gujarat Giants. The ace all-rounder got a prized wicket of Ashleigh Gardner and also dismissed Dayalan Hemalatha to dent the opposition’s progress. And during RCB’s chase, she played a blistering knock of 30* runs off 11 balls. However, her lion-hearted efforted went in vain as Bangalore lost the game by 11 runs.
