Players to watch out:
Wilhelmina Garcia
At the top of the order, Wilhelmina Garcia brings power and consistency in equal measure. Her standout moment came against the Netherlands, where she produced a composed and unbeaten 51*, guiding her side through with authority. With 345 runs in 22 WT20I innings, including that career-best half-century, Garcia has developed a reputation for providing solid starts and anchoring the innings. Her ability to adapt between cautious play and attacking strokes makes her one of the most dependable batters in the squad.
Rameesha Shahid
Equally effective with bat and ball, Rameesha Shahid has proven herself as a reliable all-round option. In the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier Division 1 (2025), she delivered an economical spell of 2/27 against the Netherlands Women, before contributing with the bat, scoring 33 off 45 in a challenging chase. Across 13 WT20I innings, she has tallied 140 runs, while also chipping in with crucial wickets when needed. Her ability to steady the middle order and pick up breakthroughs makes her an important asset in pressure situations.
Ayesha Hasan
Aggressive, Ayesha Hasan is quickly establishing herself as one of the brightest batting talents in her side. She made headlines during the Norway Women’s tour of Portugal in 2025, where she struck a fluent 54 off 44 balls against Portugal, a knock that combined timing with intent. Across 20 WT20I innings, Hasan has amassed 271 runs, with that half-century standing as her highest score so far. Known for her ability to accelerate and dominate when in rhythm, she remains a batter capable of turning the course of a game.
Anushka Gorad
Emerging talent Anushka Gorad is steadily making her presence felt in international cricket. On the same Portugal tour in 2025, she top-scored with a gritty 38 off 61 balls against the hosts, anchoring the innings and showing maturity beyond her years. In her 17 WT20I innings, Gorad has put together 185 runs, with that 38 being her current best. Though still at the start of her journey, her temperament and determination mark her out as a batter with great promise for the future.
Pitch:
The surface at Vejledalen Cricket Stadium is expected to be friendly for batters, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat and rewarding stroke play. Pacers might extract some bounce early on, but maintaining tight lines and mixing up variations will be key. With the average first-innings score hovering around 133, bowling units will need early breakthroughs to prevent batters from dictating terms.
Weather:
The forecast shows temperatures around 20°C with a 50% chance of rain, which could potentially interrupt play. With humidity levels at 76%, swing bowlers may find helpful conditions under overcast skies, making the toss crucial and bowling first an attractive option.
