PK-W v WI-W, Match 16: Top Five Picks

  1. Muneeba Ali (PAK): Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Muneeba Ali is the second-highest run-getter in the ongoing WC behind Australia's Alyssa Healy. The left-handed batter struck a magnificent century (102) in the last outing against Ireland. Henceforth, picking up the in-form batter is the way to go for this fixture.
  2. Bismah Maroof (PAK): Pakistani skipper Bismah Maroof has scored the second-most runs for her side after Muneeba in this WC. She is averaging 72.00 in 2 matches with one half-century to her name. The left-handed batter is a safe bet for the game against the Caribbean side.
  3. Nashra Sandhu (PAK): Slow left arm orthodox bowler, Nashra Sandhu bowled a solid spell of 4/18 in the last encounter against the Irish side. The spinner is the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan in this edition.
  4. Hayley Matthews (WI): West Indies captain Hayley Matthews finally ended her side's losing streak in the format by smashing an unbeaten 66, eventually registering a victory in the last game against Ireland.  She is the leading run-scorer for the Women in Maroon and would hope to play another captain's knock against Pakistan.
  5. Karishma Ramharack (WI): Right arm off-break bowler Karishma Ramharack scalped two wickets in both of the West Indies matches so far in this tournament. The spinner looks an ideal pick for this contest.
