Georgia Voll is one of the best fantasy captaincy choices after scoring 94 runs across two matches. Sophie Devine remains another top option because of her ability to contribute with both bat and ball. Ashleigh Gardner is Trent Rockets Women’s key all-rounder and can make an impact in every department. Heather Graham has been Welsh Fire’s leading wicket-taker with four wickets, while left-arm spinner Sophia Smale could prove effective on the Cardiff pitch.
