Players to watch out:
Tuba Hassan
The 23-year-old leg-spinner, in 19 T20 Internationals (T20Is), has scalped 17 wickets at an economy rate of 5.74 and produced the best of 3/8. Tuba hasn’t been at her best with the ball this tournament, finishing wicketless in both her outings, but guided the team to a win scoring 34 runs. She’ll be counted on to deliver the goods.
Anam Amin
The 31-year-old left-arm off-spinner, from 64 T20Is, has bagged 61 wickets, maintaining an economy rate of 5.50 and registering the best of 4/16. Anam has had a notable tournament thus far, with 3 wickets to her name off a couple of outings, and it’ll be hoped she carries forward this momentum into the business end of the competition.
Sadaf Shamas
The 25-year-old batter hasn’t had the start she would have liked to her international career, but yet again impresses in a domestic tournament. Sadaf has scored 41 runs from a couple of outings this tournament, striking at 107.89. She is among the best batters on the side, and her runs will be crucial for the team’s success.
Nashra Sundhu
The 26-year-old spinner has taken 53 wickets, including the best of 4/18, from 51 outings and has been economical, conceding runs at 5.36. Nashra has been in good form lately, and continuing the same, in this competition, she has picked up 5 wickets from 2 outings at an economy rate of 2.93. She’ll be backed to make the most of this start.
