Players to watch out:
Davina Perrin
The 18-year-old top-order batter has amassed 355 runs from 10 outings in the Women’s One Day Cup 2025, averaging 35.50 with a strike rate of 84.92. Fresh off a successful T20 campaign—highlighted by a century in the recently concluded Women’s Hundred—she has been in outstanding form throughout the summer and can be relied upon to deliver runs.
Issy Wong
The 23-year-old bowling all-rounder has picked up 8 wickets from as many outings in the Women’s One Day Cup 2025, while also contributing 130 runs, with best figures of 2/45 and the top score of 32. She carried this form into the T20 season, excelling with both bat and ball, consistently among the wickets, and proving herself a dependable performer.
Hollie Armitage
The 28-year-old top-order batter has scored 498 runs from 10 outings in the Women’s One Day 2025—the second highest in the competition—at an average of 55.33. Her tally includes three fifties and a century, with the highest of 111. While she didn’t bat in many games of The Hundred, she captained Northern Superchargers to glory. It’ll be hoped she picks up right where she left off.
Mady Villiers
The 27-year-old all-rounder has accumulated 224 runs from 9 innings and claimed 13 wickets from 10 outings in the 2025 Women’s One Day Cup, with best performances of 65* and 3/28. Mady has showcased this all-round form across competitions, including the recently concluded Women’s Hundred, and her experience makes her a highly reliable player.
