Players to watch out:

Eyman Fatima

The 20-year-old opening batter is a highly promising up-and-coming talent and has made an early mark in this competition, amassing 171 runs from 3 outings. Eyman had a quiet start to her campaign and was pushed down the order in her most recent outing. However, Eyman produced a stunning knock, a 97-ball 141, and should be backed to capitalize on this return to form, leading the scoring.

Anam Amin

The 32-year-old left-arm off-spinner is a seasoned bowler in the domestic circuit and also has international cricket experience under her belt. Anam has had a notable start to this campaign, taking 7 wickets, maintaining an economy rate of 3.76. Building on the momentum, she produced a brilliant 4/29 in her most recent outing and can be counted on for the breakthroughs.

Sidra Amin

The 32-year-old opening batter was a standout last domestic season, and from 67 One-Day International innings, she has accumulated 1,753 runs at an average of 27.82. Sidra has been a slow starter, and even in this competition, while she has managed only 52 from 2 outings, she can be relied upon to convert the starts she has managed into substantial scores, being consistent with the bat.

Tuba Hassan

The 24-year-old leg-spinner emerged as a reliable all-rounder last domestic season, leading the runs and wickets tally for her side, while also impressing in international cricket. In this competition, while Tuba has managed only a notable score of 15 from two outings, her bowling figures read 1/31 and 2/31. It is hoped she continues in this bowling form while also stepping up her batting efforts.

Pitch:

The Karachi wicket offers a bowling-friendly deck, evidenced by the average score of 170. During the middle overs, bowlers, particularly spinners, prove to be impactful and pose a significant challenge to the batters.

Weather:

The conditions in Karachi are expected to be pleasant for cricket, with bright, clear skies overhead. The temperature will hover in the early 30s (°C), with light winds and 45% humidity.

Fantasy playing XI:
