READ NOWYoung all-rounder Graham has continued to impress throughout the post-Christmas fixtures.
The 20-year-old has shown why she is a talent to watch, with economical performances with the ball, as well as providing good middle-order depth with the bat.
Graham’s stand-out game came against the Adelaide Strikers on New Year’s Eve, where she finished with bowling figures of 2-12 before a match-winning 27 n.o. with the bat.
King has been the surprise packet of the Scorchers line-up this season, soaring to be the leading wicket-taker for Perth with 12, three clear of captain Suzie Bates.
The Scorchers’ four remaining games are all in Perth, starting with a clash with the Adelaide Strikers at #TheFurnace on Saturday, before hosting the Melbourne Stars at Lilac Hill on Sunday.
