11. Sophie Oldershaw
– Jess Watkin and Kate Ebrahim looks safest C/VC choices considering their All-rounder roles.
– Mikaela Greig will be a good pick as she’s batting at two down and bowling part time overs.
– Taking punt on Caitlin Blakely who can score decent runs by batting at three down.
– Hannah Rowe might be another good punt as she’s batting at three down and bowling full four overs but selected by just 27% users in D11.
– Can take Eden Carson at the place of Natalie Dodd and Molly Loe for Emma Black.

– Going heavy on Otago Sparks Women as they’re the favourites to win this match.
– Hannah Rowe might be a decent VC as she’s due to perform with both bat and ball in this season.
– Suzie Bates will be another good C/VC choice especially while batting first.
– Can take anyone from Emily Cunningham or Kerry-Anne Tomlinson as they can anchor the innings if top order batters depart early.
– Eden Carson and Molly Loe might be decent punts considering their full overs with the bowl.
