Kapp's all-round brilliance saw the Proteas reach their fourth consecutive T20 World Cup semi-final, but they bowed out of the competition when they were beaten by hosts England at the Oval.
The 36-year-old Kapp made a stunning 81 not out to see the Proteas chase down a stiff target against India, while also taking eight wickets in the tournament including 3-23 against Pakistan.
Four players from the victorious Australia side were named in the XI while Danni Wyatt-Hodge and her skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt represent England.
Wyatt-Hodge crashed more runs than have ever been scored before by an individual at a Women's T20 World Cup, with 302 from seven games at a strike rate of 149.5.
Ireland's Orla Prendergast has been recognised after steering her side to their first-ever win at a World Cup.
The allrounder scored 63 in the victory over the West Indies, her second half-century of the tournament, also taking wickets in all bar one of the five group matches.
Darcey Carter has been named as the 12th player, a historic first appearance for a Scotland player in the list.
Carter made 208 runs from five matches at the top of the order, including 72 not out against New Zealand.
