Players to watch out for:

Grace Scrivens

The 20-year-old batting all-rounder in The Hundred, from 9 outings, has added 127 runs to the tally, while taking 3 wickets from 6 bowling innings. Grace, in a recently concluded T20 competition, added 244 runs to the tally from 10 outings at an average of 30.50, with a highest score of 64*. She has had a promising start to her 2024 The Hundred campaign, with a score of 22-ball 32, including 6 boundaries, and will be backed to capitalise on this form.

Katie George

The 25-year-old left-handed pacer in The Hundred has collected 62 runs from 15 outings, while taking just 1 wicket from 7 innings of bowling. Before the 4th edition of The Hundred, Katie took 13 wickets from 11 T20 outings and collected 75 runs from 9 innings. However, in the season opener of the 4th edition, she scored 6 (11) and returned figures of 0/3 (5 balls) and will hopefully repeat her domestic success.

Sophie Devine

The 34-year-old all-rounder has amassed 344 runs at a strike rate of 132.81 from 15 appearances in The Hundred, while taking just 3 wickets from 11 innings. Sophie has not been at her best of late, with scores of 0, 9, 58*, 5 and 12 while wicketless. However, in The Hundred 2024, despite yet to claim a wicket, she has taken starts of 13 and 37, and the seasoned all-rounder can be relied upon for improved efforts.

Emily Arlott

The 26-year-old pacer, who maintains an economy rate of 7.22, has taken 26 wickets from 23 outings in The Hundred, while also contributing 132 runs at a strike rate of 110.92 from 16 innings. Emily has taken 14 wickets from 10 T20s, while also scoring 77 runs at a strike rate of 122.22. Continuing her form, she has produced figures of 2/19 and 2/33 in The Hundred 2024. Given her form, she can be counted on to deliver the goods.
