Ahead of the semi-finals, we take a quick look at the player rankings from the group stages.
Our bowling rankings are topped by a seamer – Sarah Aley of the Sydney Sixers. Aged 32, and never having played a full international, Aley has to be a very outside bet to change that as a result of her performances in WBBL02; but she has nonetheless been massively consistent for the Sixers, as well as defying the dominance of spin which usually asserts itself in the women’s game.

No surprises who tops the batting rankings – do we even have to name her? More interesting are Nos. 2 and 3 – Beth Mooney certainly seems to have done enough at WBBL02 to earn a seat on the plane to the World Cup this summer as a pure batsman, regardless of her status as Assistant Glove Butler to Alyssa Healy; whilst Ashleigh Gardner too has been asking questions of the selectors, as the 19-year-old knocks on the door of a first full call-up to the national side.
