Ash Gardner has been very consistent in both seasons and her all-round abilities both as a skillful spinner and a hard-hitting batter make her the most valuable player in her team.

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews has been one of the standout performers in the Mumbai Indians squad. She was instrumental in Mumbai Indians lifting the inaugural WPL title but fell short in the last season.

Hayley Mathews opens the batting for the Mumbai Indians side and bowls the crucial overs as an off-spinner.
