Player Highlights

Hutton-Women (HUT-W)

Erica Hobson – All Rounder, HUT-W (Captain)

Erica Hobson has set the early benchmark for all-round performance in this event. In her only match so far, she amassed 79 fantasy points, with 75 coming from her batting exploits, including 5 fours and 1 six, and a top score of 35. Her ability to clear the boundary and anchor the innings makes her the most valuable player in the squad. While she hasn't contributed with the ball or in the field yet, her batting alone makes her a game-changer.

Lauren Pamenter – Batsman, HUT-W

Pamenter has shown promise with the bat, scoring 19 runs in her debut match and collecting 35 fantasy points (31 from batting). Her ability to find the boundary (3 fours) suggests she could be a key contributor at the top of the order. With a solid start, she will be looking to build on her performance and provide stability to the Hutton batting lineup.

Bethany Law – Wicket Keeper, HUT-W

As the designated wicketkeeper, Bethany Law brings balance to the side. While she is yet to make a mark with the bat or gloves (0 runs, 0 dismissals), her presence behind the stumps will be crucial in a fast-paced T10 format. She has 4 fantasy points from her debut, indicating involvement in the game, and will be eager to add to her tally.

Hannah Bratt – Bowler, HUT-W

Bratt, a bowler by trade, has yet to make an impact with the ball (0 wickets, 0 bowling fantasy points), but her 4 fantasy points from her debut suggest she is getting into the action. With the ball likely to play a big role in this match, Bratt will be keen to open her wicket account and provide breakthroughs for her team.

Gunnersbury-Women (GUN-W)

Esther de Lange – Bowler, GUN-W (Captain & Wicket Keeper)

De Lange leads Gunnersbury both as captain and wicketkeeper. While she is yet to register any fantasy points or statistical highlights, her dual role means she will be at the center of the action. Her leadership and potential with both gloves and ball could be pivotal as Gunnersbury seek their first win.

Ellie Shaw – All Rounder, GUN-W

Shaw, an all-rounder, is another player with a clean slate in terms of fantasy and cricketing stats. However, her all-round skills mean she could contribute in multiple facets of the game. With the T10 format rewarding versatility, Shaw is one to watch as she looks to make her mark.

Callie Soutar – Bowler, GUN-W

Soutar, a bowler, is yet to open her account in terms of wickets or fantasy points. With the new ball likely to be key in the powerplay overs, Soutar’s performance could set the tone for Gunnersbury’s bowling attack.

Shimako Kato – All Rounder, GUN-W

Kato, like her teammates, is searching for her first major contribution. As an all-rounder, she has the opportunity to influence the game with both bat and ball, and a breakout performance could be on the cards.
