The top-order batter has made promising starts in his last four T20I appearances but has yet to convert them into significant scores. In the match against Bangladesh Women, she demonstrated considerable potential but became somewhat impatient while attempting to seal the game, resulting in a return catch to the bowler. It is anticipated that he may capitalize on the next opportunity and accumulate a substantial score to her name.

Probable Best Bowler: Udeshika Prabodhani
