Players to watch out:
Sumaiya Akter
The Bangladeshi skipper has shown glimpses of her potential. In the Under-19 Asia Cup, her best spell was 3 for 12 against Sri Lanka. However, at this tournament, she has struggled to convert her starts, with scores of 12, 8, and 28*. Against India in the Super Six stage, she remained unbeaten on 21, but lacked support from the rest of the lineup, leading to a modest team total of 64.
Anisa Akter
Anisa has been a standout bowler for Bangladesh. She impressed during the warm-ups with an excellent spell of 3 for 12 against England, last edition’s runners-up. In the group stages, her performances included 1 for 6 against Nepal, 1 for 18 against Australia, and a superb 4 for 25 against Scotland. She also picked 1 for 29 against India in the Super Six stage, maintaining her consistency throughout the tournament.
Samara Ramnath
Samara’s all-round skills make her a vital asset for the West Indies. She scored a resilient 24 (23) against Sri Lanka but has faced challenges with the ball. Her standout performance came against Malaysia, where she claimed 4 for 6. Despite a quiet outing against Australia (14 runs and 0 for 9), her versatility makes her a player to watch.
Selena Ross
Selena has been a reliable performer for the West Indies with the ball. Her notable figures include 2 for 16 against Nepal in the warm-ups and 2 for 25 against Sri Lanka in the group stage. While she went wicketless against India, she bounced back with 1 for 22 against Australia. Her consistency makes her a key player for this clash.
