Some of the Women’s Hundred’s biggest stars will be in action when England face New Zealand in a Vitality IT20 at The Central Co-op County Ground on Wednesday 20 May 2026.
Here, we take a look at some of The Hundred’s standout international players who you could see live at Derby next summer, with the Ticket Ballot now open!
The Winners
The 2026 competition was won by Northern Superchargers, with Derbyshire Women & Girls Pathway graduate and England international, Bess Heath, featuring in all ten matches, claiming four catches and one stumping.
England seamer Kate Cross, who has claimed more than 100 ODI wickets, was also a key part of the Superchargers team as she took 15 dismissals on her way to the crown. Fellow internationals, Alice Davidson-Richards and Holly Armitage were also ever-present on the charge to the title.
18-year-old Davina Perrin continued her incredible rise with a rapid-fire century in the Eliminator, taking just 42 balls to reach three figures to fire her side into the final.

The Batters
Perrin’s incredible knock in the Eliminator propelled her into third-place in the run-scoring charts for this year’s Women’s Hundred, ahead of England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt, who scored 256, including three half-centuries.
England’s Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Sophie Dunkley also featured in the top ten, with a combined 453 runs and three half-centuries, while Devine (165) was the most prolific New Zealander with the bat.
Homegrown Heroes
Bess Heath’s success in 2025 means that all three current England internationals to have come through the Derbyshire Women & Girls Pathway have now lifted The Hundred trophy.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge was the first to do it in 2023, with Southern Brave, before Sarah Glenn and London Spirit tasted glory in 2024. All three could be in action at Derby next summer, so make sure you sign up the Ticket Ballot to see them LIVE!
