Top Picks:

Sana Mir might not have an impact in the fantasy team as high as her stature, especially in the T20 format. She is more a bowler who is good at restricting the opponents but attacking bowlers who take wicket are needed in the fantasy team. Kainat Imtiaz has been quite good with the bat in the domestic T20 tournaments of late. She has recorded the 30s and 40s in the recent tournaments and also picked up a decent number of wickets. She could be a surprise package as captain. Omaima Sohail and Javeria Rauf have done well in those tournaments by scoring big runs.
