South Africa Women

The South African women’s team is coming off a 3-0 whitewash of Sri Lanka and they will be looking to keep up the momentum. With the ball, the experienced Marizanne Kapp is 6th in the ICC Women’s bowlers’ rankings and she is someone you must have in your fantasy team for this game and through the series.

The usual captain Dane van Niekerk won’t be in action in this series and the home team will instead be led by Sune Luus. Pick Luus and also pick Chloe Tryon, someone who is better in T20s but you can expect some big hitting from her if given the right situation. Your wicket-keeper pick can come from South Africa in Lizelle Lee who scored 60 in her last T20 for North West Women.

Pakistan Women

Pakistan too, are coming into this game high on confidence as they recently secured a 2-1 series win against the Windies women team. One change from their last playing squad is bringing in the uncapped spinner Rameen Shamim in place of Saba Nazir. Another major blow was Diana Baig being ruled out due to thumb injury, with 17-year old uncapped Fatima Sana.

A major change is that the highly experienced Javeria Khan makes a comeback, having last played a game for Pakistan in 2014. Apart from Khan, Bismah Maroof and Nahida Khan are the leading batters for the away team, while Sana Mir will be the main pick with the ball for your Funtasy11 (sign-up with code “6CD431) team. Mir is third in the ICC Women’s bowlers’ rankings and will surely be among the wickets.
