Aside from the semi-final against West Indies, that was played on a docile track that offered nothing for the bowlers, Leigh Kasperek took at least a wicket in every match of the tournament. The off-spinner was expected to make a difference on conducive conditions in India and she did not disappoint.

She finished as the tournament's leading wicket-taker with an average of 10 and economy rate under 5. When presented with conditions that helped her style of bowling, she flourished and almost single-handedly got them to the final.
