Team Analysis
New Zealand Women
The New Zealand Women have had a mixed tournament, winning two and losing four. But some of these losses were close and could have gone either way. Their captain Sophie Devine has been in scintillating form as she has scored 297 runs with an average of 49.50. Fellow top-order batter Amy Satterthwaite has also scored alongside the legendary Suzie Bates at an impressive pace. Lea Tahuhu has been the top performer in the bowling department with her ten wickets. Amelia Kerr has also been incredible with leg-breaks, scalping eight wickets.
Pakistan Women
The Pakistan team finally won their first game in World Cup history against Bangladesh. But other than that, they have continued to struggle as the bottom-placed team on the table. Nashra Sandhu has been the best player in the Pakistani team as she has picked eight wickets from five games with an average of 19.75. Similarly, the captain Bismah Maroof has looked in a good nick as she scored a crucial 20 off 29 in their victory over Bangladesh. Other players like Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar could be great assets in any fantasy team.
