South Africa Women and New Zealand Women are all set to face each other in the opening game of the three-match T20I series on Wednesday, October 25. The Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram will host the clash.
Bangladesh will be captained by Nigar Sultana Joty, who has been a stalwart of her team’s batting for quite some time. Shobhana Mostary and Murshida Khatun are expected to open the batting for the Tigresses.
Shorna Akter and Ritu Moni add depth to their batting. Nahida Akter is their most experienced bowler and a lot will depend on how she delivers. Marufa Akter has emerged as a brute force with the ball.
Pakistan will depend a lot on Muneeba Ali to take them off to a flying start. Former captain Bismah Maroof will add stability to their batting. Nida Dar is a veteran of the T20 format and needs to step up as an all-rounder.
Diana Baig will lead the pace attack as she can lethal, especially with the new ball. Nashra Sandhu needs to bring forth all her experience. The onus will also be on the likes of Umm-e-Hani, Sadia Iqbal and others.
