Abtaha Maqsood (26 matches, 30 wickets, Average: 14.23)

Abtaha Maqsood picked up only one wicket in five matches in The Hundred. However, the leggie was economical in most games. She is a skillful bowler who is averaging 14.23 in 26 T20Is. With the conditions also suiting her, Maqsood is one to watch out for in this game.
