Indigenous stars D'Arcy Short, Ash Gardner, Anika Learoyd and Ella Hayward have been in the runs and wickets across various domestic and international competitions in recent days.
After leading all scorers in England's T20 Blast and featuring for the Australia Championships in the World Series of Legends, D'Arcy Short returned to his home state of the Northern Territory to lead the NT Strike to victory in their opening match of the Darwin's Top End T20 series on Friday.
Opening the batting for the Strike against a Nepalese side featuring the likes of former Big Bash star spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, the Mitakoodi man scored a match-high 51 (34), to lead the Territory side to a competitive 8/177.
Captaining the Strike, the 35-year-old struck seven boundaries and a six at Darwin's Marra Cricket Ground No. 2, his performance earning Player of the Match honours.
The left-hander was well supported by middle order batter Tom Andrews (32 from 26) with contributions also coming from Jordan Silk (19 from 14) and Connor Carroll (18 from 17).
In response Nepal managed 8/135 with Short picking up 1/20 from his three overs.
Matt Hammond (3/21) was the pick of the Strike's attack.
The Strike made it two from two after beating a strong Hobart Hurricanes Academy outfit in a low scoring affair two days later.
Short took 3/20 with the ball to - along with Tom Menzies (4/18) - bowl Hobart out for a modest 125 inside 20 overs.
The left arm wrist spinner picked up the wickets of Bradley Hope (13 from 17), Zac Curtain (1 from 5) and Iain Carlisle (23 from 21).
In response Short failed with the bat, scoring just 5 (9) before being bowled by Hurricanes opener Billy Stanlake (1/23).
Batting at number 7, an unbeaten 46* (32) from Hammond saw the Strike home with two wickets and six balls to spare.
In England The Hundred competition Ash Gardner's Trent Rockets were beaten by the Southern Brave at Nottingham on Saturday.
After chipping in with both bat and ball in the Rockets' first victory of the tournament, Gardner was at her aggressive best, scoring a quick fire 25 from 16 balls in the Rockets' middle order.
The 28-year-old struck four boundaries before being bowled by Lauren Bell (3/16).
Tailender Kristie Gordon (32 from 27) added some respectability to the Rockets' total to see the home side post 106.
In response the Muruwari woman went wicketless, finishing with 0/15 from her 20 balls.
The Brave completed the chase with two balls to spare on the back of performances from opener Maia Bouchier (42 from 30), and New Zealand international Sophie Devine (41 from 42).
Gumbaynggirr batter Anika Learoyd put together her best performance in national colours for Australia A in their one-day series against India A.
After performing consistently in the T20 leg of the tour, Learoyd struck an unbeaten 92* (90) in the first of three matches at Brisbane's Ian Healy Oval.
India A chased down Australia's 10/214 with 8 overs remaining, with Jaowyn off-spinner Ella Hayward taking 2/46 from her 10 overs.
Learoyd missed out with the bat (9 from 22) in the second match of the series.
Hayward took 2/57 in the match which saw India successfully chase Australia's 9/265 with two wickets and a ball remaining.
Australia added respectability in the final match of the series after comfortably chasing India's 10/216, largely due to Alyssa Healy's 137 (85).
Despite not being required with the bat, Learoyd took 2/16 (3) with her leg spin while Hayward took 2/43 from 10 overs.
