South Africa, energized by players like Laura Wolvaardt and Suné Luus, may disrupt predictions with their performance. Conversely, New Zealand arrives as T20 World Cup champions, relying on their experienced players despite struggles in recent ODI matches. Sri Lanka, benefiting from home grounds, and the rising talent of Bangladesh, led by Nahida Akter, adds to the competitive roster. Lastly, Pakistan, still building their team identity under Fatima Sana, are looking to make a statement as underdogs this year.
