The 2017 season was Southern Vipers' second season, in which they competed in the Women's Cricket Super League, a Twenty20 competition. The side topped the group stage for the second year in a row, therefore progressing to the final.[1] In the final, they faced Western Storm in a repeat of the previous season's final. This time, however, Western Storm were victorious by seven wickets with twelve balls to spare.[2]
The side was captained by Charlotte Edwards and coached by Nicholas Denning.[3] They played two of their home matches at the Rose Bowl and their other home match at the Arundel Castle Cricket Ground.[4]
Southern Vipers announced a 15-player squad on 26 July 2017.[3] Dane van Niekerk were originally signed as an overseas player, but was ruled out due to injury and replaced by Mignon du Preez.[5] Age given is at the start of Southern Vipers' first match of the season (10 August 2017).
