Players to watch out:
Tammy Beaumont
English batting sensation, Beaumont has over 5000 runs on the international stage at impressive averages. The opener has gotten off to starts in the tournament so far with a couple of 40s. And will be looking to capitalize on it.
Sarah Glenn
Leggie Glenn possesses a great depth of experience in International T20s where she has scalped 55 wickets at an average of 16.89. The English star will be looking to give a nice rip to the ball as she’s yet to come into the groove this tournament.
Dane van Niekerk
The ex-South African skipper has nineteen 50’s and a 100 on the international stage. Her experience in the squad adds great value to the girls. The 30-year-old will look to be among the runs in their clash against The Blaze.
Abtaha Maqsood
The Scotland wrist bowler has 35 wickets to her name in the T20Is. 23-year-old Maqsood will look to make use of her experience and put an end to her consecutive wicketless drought by keeping a good economy rate like she always does.
