The 20-year old all-rounder has witnessed a meteoric rise in her short career so far. She was named as the emerging player of the year by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and is an integral part of the Pakistan unit in the ongoing mega event.
Fatima has picked up 22 wickets at an average of 28.13 and an economy rate of 5.80 in 17 ODIs. The young all-rounder will be looking to put in a much-improved performance in the upcoming World Cup games and help Pakistan register their first victory of the campaign.
The Women in Green have lost their opening two matches of the competition. They lost the opening encounter to India and followed it up with a defeat to Australia. Pakistan will face South Africa in their next encounter on 11 March and will be looking to bounce back quickly to get a chance to make it to the knockouts of the mega event.
