Hayley Matthews of the West Indies and Muneeba Ali of Pakistan are the first two players on the tournament's best XI. Matthews had a great season in every way. She scored 240 runs, including a hundred, and took 13 wickets, which puts her rightly at the top. The next player in line is Sharmin Akhter from Bangladesh. He scored 266 runs and made two fielding saves, which was good enough for second place in the event.
Kathryn Bryce of Scotland, who was named Player of the Tournament, comes in after Sharmin.
Nigar Sultana, the captain of Bangladesh, was put in charge of keeping wickets in the ICC's XI. She not only hit 243 runs, including a hundred, but she also helped with the gloves by catching two balls and stumping three others.
Pakistan's Fatima Sana was made captain of the team, which shows how well she led and contributed in all areas during the qualifiers. The team also has Chinelle Henry and Aaliyah Alleyne from the West Indies, Kathryn Fraser from Scotland, and Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal from Pakistan, who spin the ball.
Rabeya Khan from Bangladesh was added as a substitute player. She took six wickets in the event.
