Players to watch out:
Gull Feroza
The 25-year-old opening batter, from 11 T20I innings, has accumulated 167 runs and rewrote her career-best to 57 in her most recent outing in the ongoing Asia Cup against Nepal. Gull has managed multiple starts in her recent series; 14 and 21* against West Indies, 17 and 30 against England, before scoring her maiden fifty in her most recent outing and hopefully capitalizes on this form.
Sadia Iqbal
The 28-year-old left-arm off-spinner has struck 41 wickets from 38 T20Is, at an economy rate of 5.63 and registered the best of 3/18. Sadia has been in notable form lately, striking 7 wickets in 5 T20Is against West Indies, 3 from as many outings against England, and carrying the momentum into the Asia Cup, has returned figures of 0/21 (2.1) and 2/19 (4). She can be relied upon for breakthroughs.
Khushi Mohan Sharma
The 21-year-old all-rounder in T20Is, from 53 outings, has scalped 48 wickets at an economy rate of 5.48, while from 47 batting innings, has added 438 runs to the tally, with bests being 5/22 and 37*. Khushi has struggled with the ball in this campaign but has scalped 3 wickets in the previous 5 T20Is, while registering scores of 22, 36, and 10 in her recent outings. She’ll be trusted to step up her efforts.
Samaira Dharnidharka
The 17-year-old pacer, at an average of 13.90 and an economy rate of 5.27, has scalped 41 wickets from 42 T20I outings and registered the best of 4/5, while also chipping in with the bat, scoring 179 runs from 33 innings. Samaira’s returns from her previous 5 T20Is read 3/11 (4), 4/12 (4), 0/25 (4), 0/22 (2), and 1/42 (4). She’ll be backed to find her rhythm with the ball, being both economical and effective.
