Smriti Mandhana has been smashing runs for fun this season and no doubt, the Western Storm powerhouse finds herself at the top of the runs table with a distant 101 run gap with Amy Satterthwaite, who's placed second.

The major reason why Loughborough Lightning top the points table is because of their bowling. The Lightning bowling has been nothing short of exceptional with 3 of them taking the Top 3 spots in the highest wicket taking list.
