Players to watch out:
Maryam Omar
The 30-year-old all-rounder, in T20Is, has amassed 475 runs from 27 outings, including the highest score of 54, while also taking 22 wickets from 25 innings. In the competition, Maryam has registered figures of 1/17 and 0/12, and in her only batting outing, departed for 11. The team will count on her to step up with both bat and ball.
Mariamma Hyder
The 39-year-old left-arm off-spinner, from 36 T20I outings, has bagged 31 wickets, including the highest of 4/8, maintaining an economy rate of 4.90, while also chipping in with the bat. Mariamma kicked off her campaign returning figures of 3/7, but was on the receiving end in the following game. It’ll be hoped she gets to her best with the ball.
Khin Min Myat
The 22-year-old opening batter has accumulated 247 runs, including the highest of 57, from 20 T20Is, and also has 6 wickets to her name. Khin didn’t have the best of starts to her campaign, however, in the following game, scored a fine 28. It’ll be expected that she carries forward this momentum, leading the scoring.
Zin Tharaphy Kyaw
The 28-year-old pacer has scalped 19 wickets from 20 T20I appearances, maintaining an economy rate of 5.42 and registering the best of 3/8, while also being handy with the bat. Zin, in her most recent outing, registered figures of 26 and 3/17, and she’ll be relied upon for the goods, especially with the bat.
