Sophie Devine can add the crown of Women’s Big Bash League player of the year to go with the title of being the tournament’s best six-hitter.

Devine whacked a record 27 sixes this summer to help take the Adelaide Strikers to the finals – the most in one season in either the men’s or women’s BBL. The Kiwi allrounder was a clear choice for the prize, after a dominant all-round season with bat and ball.

When Ellyse Perry scored 777 runs and took 10 wickets for the Sydney Sixers last year, many questioned if the competition would ever see another run like it.

Devine has almost toppled that in just the next season, headlined by her five sixes in one over against the Melbourne Stars.

The 30-year-old has topped the run-scoring charts with 699 runs at 77.76, while also sitting sixth on the bowling charts with 16 wickets.

‘‘The beauty of this competition is it’s quite condensed and when you get on a roll it’s easy to stay on a roll,’’ Devine told AAP.

‘‘But the stats and whatever else don’t mean much if I don’t help this team win a trophy.

‘‘That has always been a goal right from the start. I want to see this club win championships.

‘‘I can score as many runs or take as many wickets, but if we’re not winning titles then what does it really matter?’’

Devine was also named as an opener in the WBBL’s team of the tournament, where former Australian player and Melbourne Renegades batter Jess Duffin is the captain.

WBBL team of the tournament:

Beth Mooney (Heat), Sophie Devine (Strikers), Danni Wyatt (Renegades), Meg Lanning (Scorchers), Ellyse Perry (Sixers), Jess Duffin (captain, Renegades), Jess Jonassen (Heat), Marizanne Kapp (Sixers), Molly Strano (Renegades), Megan Schutt (Strikers), Belinda Vakarewa (Hurricanes).
