Players to Watch
Hollie Armitage
A reliable presence in the middle order, Hollie Armitage showcased her composure with a steady 36 off 28 balls against Southern Brave, even though her side ended on the losing end. Since the inception of The Hundred, she has been a consistent contributor with the bat, amassing 428 runs, with her highest score being 46. Her ability to rotate strike, anchor partnerships, and accelerate when needed makes her a pivotal figure for the Superchargers in pressure situations.
Katherine Fraser
A bright young all-rounder in her debut season, Katherine Fraser has already started to make her presence felt. In the recent clash against Southern Brave, she delivered an economical spell of 1/11, showing maturity and control beyond her years. With her ability to contribute in both departments, Fraser is an emerging talent to watch, capable of turning games with either bat or ball.
Em Arlott
A seasoned campaigner since the competition’s inception, Emily Arlott continues to be a key weapon in Birmingham Phoenix’s bowling attack. Against Oval Invincibles, she was one of the few positives for her side, picking up 2/25 and keeping the batters under pressure. Over the seasons, Arlott has claimed 39 wickets, with a best of 3/15, and remains a strike bowler who thrives on breaking partnerships at crucial moments.
Ailsa Lister
In her debut season, young wicketkeeper-batter Ailsa Lister has impressed with her calmness under pressure. Against Oval Invincibles, she played a crucial unbeaten knock of 33 off just 18 balls, injecting late momentum into the innings. With quick hands behind the stumps and the ability to play fearless, aggressive cricket, Lister is quickly becoming one of Phoenix’s most promising future stars.
