Georgia Voll (Australia)
Matches 3, Runs 173, Batting average 86.5, HS 101
Months into her breakout debut season with Australia, Georgia Voll was handed a central contract with the national side.
Voll got an opportunity in Australia’s top-order owing to an injury to Alyssa Healy during the Women’s Big Bash League last year, and made the most of her outing against India. In the three ODI series, she smashed 173 runs at a strike rate of 108.80 and also scored a quickfire century in just her second game.
After making a mark in the ODIs, Voll has continued to impress in other formats as well, including the T20Is where she has scored 210 runs at a positive strike-rate of 144.82. Given her early successes, she also got an opportunity to play in the Women’s Premier League in India, and grabbed the attention with her sublime strokeplay and powerplay, hitting 154 runs at a strike-rate closing in on 170.
This experience in the sub-continent could prove crucial as Voll readies herself for the World Cup challenge in the coming weeks.
