Masterful Mooney finds form again in chase
Mooney was slow to get going after a couple of standout performances with the bat in Commonwealth Bank Women's Ashes T20 matches, but more than made up for lost time once she found her rhythm. After making just 83 runs across her first four games, she went on to belt 229 without losing her wicket in the next three, and was back to her absolute best with the bat. Her work behind the stumps was also excellent, taking the second most dismissals of any wicketkeeper in the league.

Perry stars for Sixers wtih unbeaten 91
The Sixers' superstar almost slipped under the radar at times with her batting, with the likes of Ashleigh Gardner and Alyssa Healy putting in a few sensational performances, but Perry anchored many Sixers' innings with her calm, measured starts, unleashing late when protecting her wicket was no longer the priority. There were times when mini-collapses occurred around her, but Perry - who was the first to hit 500 runs this season - dug in and did what needed to be done. She bowled herself less this season than in the past, but is a proven performer with the ball as well.

Sophie Devine demolishes the Sixers

She has produced some memorable, big-hitting performances and has snared crucial wickets along the way as her WBBL team earned its spot in the WBBL finals for the first time.

Van Niekerk bamboozles Hurricanes for hat-trick
The South African allrounder's leg-spin was a weapon for the Sixers this season, whether she was called into the attack to tie down the run rate or strike with a few wickets. She claimed a hat-trick against the Hurricanes, and could jump in for a quick cameo with the bat when required. She was the competition's leading wicket-taker, but missed games late after returning home for national team duties.

Brutal Brunt tears apart the Renegades
A minor back injury was the only blip on another very impressive season from the Scorchers' pace spearhead. The leading wicket-taker of WBBL|03 was brutal and unrelenting, and was a key cog for the Scorchers as they booked their spot in the decider for the second year running.

In-form Farrell collects three scalps
Farrell was part of an impressive Sydney Thunder bowling attack, finishing with the same number of wickets as Nicola Carey, and one more than Sam Bates, but it was her ability to snare vital wickets when the team needed it that made her season stand out. She could start the Thunder on a strong note with an early wicket, or return later in the attack to break partnerships.

Awesome Aley produces blistering spell
The Sixers' pace star has again been a force to be reckoned with in WBBL|03. She has had good support from van Niekerk and then Sarah Coyte, but has been the constant of the Sixers' attack, picking up wickets and giving opposition batters little to work with. She was at her absolute best against the Strikers in the semi-final, snaring 4-1 in her first two overs to all but put the result to rest.

Tahuhu tears through Short to stumps
The Melbourne Renegades pace ace stepped up this season to be among the top wicket-takers, nearly doubling her return from last summer to finish equal fourth in the WBBL. She set the tone opening the bowling for the Renegades as they surged into contender status after a couple of seasons as cellar-dwellers.
