ICC Women’s World Cup Team of The Tournament Includes Pakistan’s Sidra Nawaz

Pakistan wicketkeeper Sidra Nawaz was named in ICC Women’s World Cup Team of the Tournament unveiled on Tuesday, becoming the only player named in a side to miss out on the final four. Hosts India defeated South Africa by 52 runs on Sunday in the final to claim their first-ever World Cup. Both teams boasted three players each in the final XI, as did semi-finalists Australia. England’s Sophie Ecclestone is also included in the list, with compatriot Nat Sciver-Brunt named as the 12th player. Sidra finished the competition with the most dismissals. In spite of Pakistan’s league phase exit, Sidra was excellent accompaniment for the performing Pakistan bowling unit, shining in particular up to the stumps with four stumpings. (DAWN)
