SL-W vs. AUS-W: Possible Best Performers
Chamari Athapaththu: The Sri Lankan captain is leading from the front for her team, contributing significantly to both of their victories thus far in the competition. One of the better performances thus far was her cool-headed fifty against South Africa in the tournament’s opening match in challenging conditions. If Sri Lanka wants to defeat Australia in the forthcoming game, she must perform at her peak.
Ashleigh Gardner: The Australian spin bowling ace got her team’s campaign off to a strong start against New Zealand, taking 5/12 in a dazzling performance. Her performance couldn’t have come at a better moment because the next day, she won a huge contract in the WPL auction. With six kills in the competition so far, she is tied for the lead in wickets.
