The 32-year-old England player has scored 416 runs with the help of four half-centuries in the eight matches played so far. Her best score was 80*. In second place is RCB’s Alice Perry who scored 372 runs. However, now RCB’s journey is over. In such a situation, it is impossible for her to leave Brunt behind.
