In-form all-rounder Kathryn Bryce has finished top of the pile in the domestic women’s MVP rankings table, the Professional Cricketer’s Association has announced.

As a measure of the best-performing players in the domestic game, the PCA’s MVP table is ranked by points accumulated through a combination of individual performances and team results, Bryce earning the title of Domestic Women’s Overall MVP with the biggest points total of the year.

Bryce, whose half-century at Derby was instrumental in The Blaze’s Charlotte Edwards Cup final triumph back in June, has amassed an unassailable points tally.

Having missed the beginning of the 2024 campaign in leading Scotland to qualification for their first ever ICC Women’s T20 World Cup tournament, Bryce excelled in the shorter format, finishing The Blaze’s victorious Charlotte Edwards Cup quest as the competition’s top run-scorer with 478 runs. 

“It has been a fantastic summer with The Blaze," Bryce said after being named Overall MVP.

"Looking back, I have a lot of pride in what we have achieved.

“It was obviously disappointing to miss the start of the season, but it was quite nice to come back into the group with a bit of a reset moving into T20 competition and be able to get going and carry on the form that I had from the World Cup Qualifiers.

"To take that into winning performances for The Blaze was really pleasing and to lift that trophy was really special."

Bryce smashed five fifties in 12 T20 appearances this year, including a rapid 62 - her highest total of the tournament - in the final against South East Stars, while also taking 10 wickets across the competition.

Her finest individual display of the year, however, arguably came against Sunrisers at Derbyshire’s County Ground at the end of August, when Bryce took 4/41 with the ball before crunching an unbeaten 87 to clinch an emphatic six-wicket victory in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.

Across both formats in 2024, Bryce tallied 750 runs and 25 wickets in domestic competitive matches.

Bryce also enjoyed several stellar moments in a Manchester Originals jersey, recording the second-best bowling figures in the history of the women's Hundred as she took a sensational hat-trick and a return of 5/13 against Northern Superchargers.

Two places behind Bryce in the MVP rankings table is The Blaze’s trophy-winning captain Kirstie Gordon in third, with a total of 321.60 to her name after an impressive season with the ball.

Meanwhile Sarah Bryce - sister to Kathryn and another Finals Day hero - currently occupies 14th place at the time of writing.

Kathryn and Sarah Bryce are both set to head to the United Arab Emirates in October for Scotland’s maiden World Cup campaign, drawn alongside neighbours England in Group B with South Africa, West Indies and original hosts Bangladesh as their other group stage opponents.
