Players to watch out:
Line Leisner
The 28-year-old keeper-batter, in 19 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), has accumulated 234 runs, and her highest of 34* came in a recent outing. Line had a promising start to this campaign, adding a mature 21-ball 20 in the opener, while only one other batter managed a double-digit score, reflecting her reliability with the bat.
Divya Golechha
The 36-year-old pacer, in 15 T20Is, has picked up 13 wickets at an average of 16.84, an economy rate of 4.30, and the best of 2/14. Divya has had a bright start to this campaign, recording a three-fer (3/11) in her most recent outing. She has consistently been among the wickets and can be counted on to lead the tally.
Shravya Kolcharam
The 30-year-old all-rounder, in T20Is, has added 295 runs from 26 innings and picked up 8 wickets from 12 bowling innings, with respective bests of 50* and 2/29. Shravya hasn’t had a bowl of late and has been in a lean patch with the bat. However, she has the backing of her team and will want to step up her efforts.
Janet Ronalds
The 39-year-old all-rounder, from 42 T20I innings, has amassed 813 runs at an average of 24.63, with the highest of 105*, while in 20 bowling innings she has taken 25 wickets at an economy rate of 4.78, with the best of 4/9.
