Her composed 24 against Cyprus Women helped anchor a tricky chase in the Quadrangular Series, reminding everyone of her value under pressure. With 234 runs in 19 WT20Is and the highest of 34*, Leisner is the reliable middle-order glue every side needs.
Line Ostergaard
A true all-round asset, Line Ostergaard remains one of the most dependable performers in her side. Her disciplined spell of 2/11 against Cyprus Women in the recent Quadrangular Series showcased her bowling control, while her overall record, 238 runs in 16 WT20Is with the best of 49* and 17 wickets, including a superb 4/10, underlines her dual threat. She’s the kind of player who can quietly turn the game in her team’s favour.
Ayesha Hasan
Solid in the middle order, Ayesha Hasan showed grit with 12 runs against Sweden, even in a tough chase. Across 21 WT20I innings, she has scored 283 runs, including a career-best 54, underlining her ability to anchor and stabilize the batting lineup. Her presence brings resilience and experience to her side.
Mirab Razwan
A promising young talent, Mirab Razwan stood out as the only wicket-taker against Sweden with figures of 2/31, showing her ability to make breakthroughs under pressure. In her 15 WT20I innings so far, she has contributed 56 runs with the bat and claimed 14 wickets, including the best of 2/16. Still early in her career, she is steadily growing into a dependable bowling option.
