Key Players and ICC Ranking
Captain Sana Mir will again lead the ICC’s 7th ranked team Pakistan with both bat and ball. One of only seven women worldwide to have scored 1000 ODI runs and taken 100 ODI wickets, her frugal off-spin will go a long way to frustrating opposition batters, while her team will look to her for plenty of middle-order runs. Her 12 years of experience in international cricket will be invaluable to Pakistan’s younger squad members and help instil confidence against higher-ranked opposition.
Bismah Maroof, Pakistan’s highest-ranked ODI batter has a strong record in English conditions, having two half-centuries and averaging 46 in the UK. The left-hander has scored more than 2,000 one-day runs in her 11-year international career thus far. A young gun to keep an eye on is 19-year-old left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu, who has made a splash in just five ODIs, taking nine wickets and frustrating batters with her tight, economical bowling.
