Meg Lanning is the second-highest run-scorer in this year’s WBBL, she scored a total of 480 runs with an average of 43.64 in 13 innings. She has lead from the front and would like to do the same in the finale as well. Heather Knight has scored 420 runs in 14 innings for the Sydney Thunders with the help of 4 half-centuries and scored these runs at an average of almost 39, and is a vital player in the middle order for the Thunders.

Sammy-Jo Johnson is the highest wicket-taker in this year’s WBBL and she took 20 wickets in 14 matches and played some important knocks with the bat as well. She is the major reason why Thunders could make it to the finals.

Natalie Sciver, the aggressive English all-rounder, had an impressive season especially with the ball as she hunted 19 scalps in 13 matches and will have the responsibilities to provide breakthroughs for her team in the finals as well. Rachael Haynes will hold the responsibilities of the middle order for the Thunders, she scored 316 runs this season with the help of two match-winning fifties and also made 48 in the semi-final game, and brought her side to the finale.
