Players to watch out:
Fahima Khatun
Fahima Khatun, the Bangladesh bowler, has been a terrific performer for her national side in recent years. In her T20I career, she picked up 67 wickets from 92 innings at an economy of 5.80. She picked up 2 wickets against Thailand Women and gave away just 16 runs from her spell in their most recent outing. She will be a key bowler in the bowling unit as she will be pretty confident in her abilities.
Sanjida Akter Meghla
Sanjida Akter Meghla, the Bangladesh bowler, has been a consistent performer with the ball for her side. In her T20I career, she has picked up 23 wickets from 23 innings at an economy of 5.09. She has picked up 4 wickets from two outings so far, including an impactful 3-wicket haul in the opening game of the tournament. She will be a key bowler for her side in the upcoming fixtures.
Lata Mondal
Lata Mondal, the Bangladesh all-rounder, has been one of their best performers in recent times. In her T20I career, she has scored 388 runs from 43 innings at a strike rate of 63.08, and she has picked up 5 wickets from 24 innings at an economy of 7.46. She scored 30 runs in her previous game against Thailand Women. She has been in good touch in recent matches, and she will be optimistic that she can carry this form in the coming games as well.
Nur Dania Syuhada
Nur Dania Syuhada, the Malaysian bowler, has been one of their most impactful bowlers in this format of the game. In her T20I career, she has picked up 47 wickets from 61 innings at an economy of 4. She even picked up 2 wickets for just 22 runs in her 4 overs against Sri Lanka A Women. She has been in decent form, but she will need some support from her bowlers as well to make some real impact in the game.
Pitch:
The pitch generally favours bowlers with raw pace as they can get good bounce and swing off the pitch. In the morning conditions, they can take advantage of the moisture with the new ball. The wicket tends to slow down, and the spinners will come into the game in the middle overs.
Weather:
The forecast predicts dry conditions with a high of 32°C, with around a 20% chance of precipitation during the day and roughly a 25% chance at night.
