cricinfo’s team of 2023 u19 women world cup
3 Players I personally enjoyed watching this WC the most (only watched few)
1. Shafali Verma - one of my fav batter in women cricket, it was a pleasure to see her bat in u19 wc and lead her team to the world cup. winning the first edition is something else.
2. Grace Scrivens - she is so cute, golu sa and carried her lion soft toy around, but what was more impressive is her all round performance in this world cup and even got player of the tournament. also led the team pretty well, and how they defended 99 successfully vs australia deserves huge appreciation.
3. Shorna Akter - watching her bat was so entertaining. she played in pure t20i style and even can hit sixes, (including a huge one vs australia).
she is the finisher bangladesh team needed and did her job almost all the time. personally i genuinely liked a bangladeshi finisher after such a long time (including male team)
I liked Shweta too. She played valuable innings and provided just what her team needed several times.
Also wanted to mention a bit about Marufa Akter , the young Bangladeshi pacer, she mentioned in one of her interviews that she considers Hardik Pandya as her idol.
