We have seen breakout stars of the tournament emerge with both Will Smeed and Will Jacks producing blistering centuries for their respective teams.
Jacks is now the fourth highest run scorer at the 2022 tournament, with 259 runs to his name while Dawid Malan has topped the charts with 300 runs off just 171 balls.
Once again Smriti Mandhana has shone for the Southern Brave but it is South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt who has produced several match-winning performances and tops the women’s highest run scorers with 236 so far this tournament.

The teams have not yet been confirmed as there are still four matches for both the men’s and women’s competitions left to play.
As it stands, the Southern Brave women will go straight to the final while the Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix will battle it out in the eliminator.
Southern Brave have won all five of their fixtures so far this competition.
In the men’s tournament, it’s a slightly different story with the Southern Brave struggling in seventh place. The Trent Rockets may well go straight to Saturday’s final after winning five out of their seven fixtures while London Spirit and Manchester Originals will fight in the eliminator.

With the upcoming fixtures still to be played, all of this could very easily change as both the Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix have the same number of points as the Manchester Originals.
