Pakistan may not have reached the semi-finals, but Sidra Nawaz made sure her country’s name was remembered. Her sharp wicketkeeping and calm presence behind the stumps impressed everyone. Her consistency throughout the tournament earned her this special recognition.
The ICC’s Team of the Tournament includes:
Smriti Mandhana, Laura Wolvaardt (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Marizanne Kapp, Ash Gardner, Deepti Sharma, Annabel Sutherland, Nadine de Klerk, Sidra Nawaz (wk), Alana King, Sophie Ecclestone, and Nat Sciver-Brunt.
