Among the top wicket-takers, we have Lauren Cheatle who led the table with her 2 wickets against Melbourne Renegades today. The fact is the first position is shared between herself and Melbourne Renegades’ Hayley Matthews as they both have picked 8 wickets so far. While Hayley has bowled 15 overs so far, her economy is much better in comparison to Cheatle, but Cheatle tops the table as she has bowled a surplus over (16 overs) over Hayley Matthews (15 overs).

Following down the list, we have Chloe Ainsworth, Jess Jonassen and Georgia Wareham, all picking 7 wickets each. Bowlers have won matches for teams so far, making it a cut-throat competition among all. Each bowler has been mindful of the wickets, but at the same time, they have kept a keen eye on the economy rates, making it a matter of fewer runs for maximum wickets among all.

While the statistics are sure to change in the coming week, the standard, ambition and passion with which each player is willing to give her all in the chase for the title is made clear through the statistics mentioned above. The statistics so far are too close among different players, making it a matter of shrewd competition and merciless win of one over the other.

The statistics for the first week prove that the game has begun on a high note, the vibrant colours of WBBL are only inevitable and brutality is the only acceptable mindset.
