OMA vs ZIM: Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Laura Wolvaardt

The South African captain Laura Wolvaardt will be the batter to watch out for in this clash. The right-hander is coming off fresh after a successful stint in the Women's Premier League 2026 with the Delhi Capitals. Her recent batting form suggests that she is in good form, and the the Proteas will expect her to continue it against Pakistan. 

Probable Best Bowler: Marizanne Kapp

The experienced all-rounder, too, had a successful stint in the WPL, where she helped DCW reach the final for the fourth consecutive time. In 118 T20I matches, she has taken 92 wickets for the Proteas, and her team would want that count to go up in the series against the Women in Green.
