The girls in green will gain confidence from their previous two encounters against the Windies. They won the last match between the two teams by 12 runs whereas the match before that resulted in a tie in Karachi.

Star all-rounder, Nida Dar, will be the key for Pakistan especially after her stint with Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League this season where she took 13 wickets at 16.92 – the best in the team – and an economy of 6.87. The batting will revolve around seniors such as Bismah Maroof and Javeria Khan, however, they will be without their senior-most cricketer, Sana Mir, who hasn’t been included in the squad.
