Jemimah Rodrigues— Northern Superchargers

Jemimah Rodrigues has been outstanding for the Superchargers in the ongoing tournament. She has been the primary reason behind her team’s dominating run in the championship. In three matches, the right-hander has notched 166 runs at an average of 83 and strike rate of 176.59. In the previous game, she started with three fours before getting out.

Probable best bowler of the match

Linsey Smith— Northern Superchargers

Linsey Smith has been the standout bowler for the Superchargers in the Hundred. In three games, the left-arm spinner has picked five wickets at an economy rate of 0.80. Her bowling average of 9.60 is the best among her teammates. Smith is someone, who can operate both in the powerplay and at the death. The onus will again be on her to deliver.
