Players to watch in ICC Women’s World T20 2018
Nov.9 (CRICKETNMORE) - his November will see constellations descend on the Caribbean, with each team in the ICC Women’s World T20 fielding multiple stars. The world’s best players are the heart of this event, the first ever stand-alone Women’s World T20. Here’s
Rumana Ahmed:
Trending
Bangladesh will be brimming with confidence, coming into the Women’s World T20 2018 as Asian Champions. Rumana played a critical hand in that title, with both wickets and runs against India. Having gained experience of the Women’s Big Bash League through the ICC Rookie Program, she will add that value to the team as well. She’s currently ranked sixth in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings.
Shamima Sultana:
Her brisk start set up Bangladesh’s first ever win against India, and she carried that form into the ICC Women’s World T20 Qualifiers where she was among the top 10 run getters. Shamima also keeps wickets for Bangladesh, and will look to turn her habit of providing starts to something more substantial.
England:
Tammy Beaumont:
Beaumont recently helped write a record that may stand for quite a while. On the back of her maiden T20I hundred, England posted a total of 250 against South Africa in June. Her career numbers don’t do justice to her talent, but her 2018 stats are more revealing. In 10 games, she averages 41 at a strike rate of 140. Having won Player of the Tournament in England’s winning campaign in the 2017 Women’s World Cup, Beaumont will now look to help her team establish their T20 credentials.
Sophie Ecclestone:
Ecclestone has been a key part of England’s bowling line up over the past one year, and has taken 12 wickets from nine games in 2018. She was also the third highest wicket-taker in England’s domestic Super League T20 competition. The 19-year old is already in her third year of international cricket, and is likely to be one of the rising stars of the tournament.
