Players in Focus Radha Yadav (India A): A world-class left-arm spinner and tactical captain. With over 100 T20I wickets, she is the most experienced player in the tournament and the key to India's bowling squeeze.
Shawaal Zulfiqar (Pakistan A): The batting sensation. Already capped at the senior level, her ability to anchor the innings against high-quality pace is Pakistan's best hope for a big total.
Minnu Mani (India A): The off-spinning all-rounder and WPL standout. Her dual threat with bat and ball makes her the primary X-factor on Bangkok's turning tracks.
Anosha Nasir (Pakistan A): A deceptive left-arm spinner who starred in the U19 World Cup. She is the weapon Pakistan will use to target India's aggressive middle order.
