Deepti Sharma was among those who stood out in the group phase of the second edition of the women’s T20 league, which enters the playoffs
The league phase of the Women’s Premier League has come to an end. The crowds have turned up to watch, and as always there were some standout performances. There have been thrillers and one-sided games as well but as the tournament moves into the playoffs, here’s a look at the big takeaways so far from WPL 2:
Deepti Sharma and the Indian batters
Indian batters have had a good league phase in WPL. Deepti Sharma kept coming to UP Warriorz’s rescue with fighting knocks down the order. Her 295 runs at an average of 98.33 (SR 136.57) showed just how valuable a resource she is for the Indian team. A good sign for the national team is that she wasn’t alone. DC’s Shafali Verma (265 runs @ SR of 155.88), RCB’s Smriti Mandhana (259 runs @ SR of 145.5), MI’s Harmanpreet Kaur (259 runs @ SR of 146.87), DC’s Jemimah Rodrigues (231 runs @ SR of 154) and RCB’s Richa Ghosh (226 runs @ SR of 152.7) have played more than a fair hand for their teams.
