Probable best batter

Suzie Bates:

Suzie Bates was simply sensational in the game against Bangladesh. She hammered the opposition’s bowlers all around the park and notched up 81* runs off 61 balls. The ace batter would look to put her best foot forward in the do-or-die clash against Sri Lanka.

Probable best bowler
