- Hayley Matthews (MIL) — The West Indies all-rounder remains MI London’s most dangerous batter and offers control with the ball in support.
- Danni Wyatt-Hodge (MIL) — Struck an unbeaten 52 in the narrow defeat to Southern Brave and will look to go one better this time at the Oval.
- Nadine de Klerk (LS) — Her unbeaten 41 sealed London Spirit’s first win of the season at Trent Bridge, and the Proteas all-rounder offers genuine value with bat and ball.
- Marizanne Kapp (LS) — A proven performer with a strong record in London, Kapp anchors the Spirit middle order and offers control with the new ball.
