This team made their debut in the international arena in 1997 and then its first World Cup the same year. They did not qualify for another World Cup until 2009. Currently ranked seventh on the ICC list, they have participated in three world cup tournaments, this year being their fourth.

Players to look out for:
Sana Mir, the captain, has been impressive in leading the team. She is one of the main causes of the team’s dramatic change in its form and spirit. She is the wicket-taker of the team.
Bismah Maroof is the allrounder that the team depends on. She can not only take over the bat but can contribute with bowling. She has proven to be dependable.
Javeria Khan is the determined bat that will help Pakistan score. The higher the runs on board, the better the chances for the team on the whole.
Considering the fact that they have made it to only four out of eleven world cup tournaments, they are doing pretty well this time. They are capable of causing an upset or two.
