Players to watch out:
Line Ostergaard
An all-round performer, Line Ostergaard continues to be a vital cog for her side. In the recent Women’s T20I Quadrangular Series in Cyprus (2025), she impressed with a tight spell of 2/11 against Cyprus Women, underlining her control with the ball. In 16 WT20Is, Ostergaard has shown her dual ability, scoring 238 runs with the highest of 49*, while also striking with the ball to claim 17 wickets, including the standout of 4/10. Her versatility makes her a dependable option in both departments.
Line Leisner
Reliable with the bat and sharp behind the stumps, Line Leisner played a key hand in her team’s victory against Cyprus Women in the recent Quadrangular Series, scoring a patient 24 in the middle order to steady the innings. As a wicketkeeper-batter, she brings balance to the side. Across 19 WT20Is, Leisner has accumulated 234 runs, with the best of 34*, proving her ability to anchor innings when the team needs stability.
Traijila Mulepati
Leading from the front, skipper Traijila Mulepati has shown maturity beyond numbers, combining leadership with valuable contributions on the field. In the home Tri-Series, she bowled a disciplined spell of 2/11 against Estonia Women, showcasing her knack for breaking partnerships. In just 5 WT20Is, Mulepati has already picked up 4 wickets and chipped in with the bat when required, highlighting her all-round importance to the squad. Her calm presence makes her a key figure in high-pressure moments.
Stella Sheridan
An exciting name in the batting lineup, Stella Sheridan has already demonstrated her attacking instincts in her short international career. She caught attention during the Tri-Series with a brisk 33 off 21 balls, a knock that underlined her fearless stroke play in the middle order. With 65 runs from 5 WT20Is, Sheridan is quickly becoming a dependable run-getter and a potential match-winner as she continues to grow in confidence at this level.
Pitch:
The surface at Albertslund Cricket Club is generally known to be batting-friendly, offering good carry and bounce that allows stroke-makers to score freely. However, with assistance for the bowlers early on, especially the pacers, there could be some movement off the pitch in the initial overs. Spinners may also find grip as the game progresses, but overall, batters who settle in can dominate and post competitive totals.
Weather:
The conditions are expected to be around 20°C, with 50% chances of precipitation that could bring rain interruptions during play. The humidity at 76% may aid swing bowlers, particularly under cloud cover, making the toss and bowling first a tempting option for captains.
