ICC Women's World Cup 2009 - Teams
Pakistan
Urooj Mumtaz's side qualified for this event as a result of reaching the final of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier.
After surprising Ireland in the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Stellenbosch in February 2008, a comprehensive victory in the semi-final over the Netherlands helped seal a place for Australia for 2009.
Sana Mir was outstanding throughout the event and it was her wicket taking abilities that helped her capture the Player of the Tournament Award.
Indeed Pakistan will look to its spin attack to provide excellent back up to the pace of Asmavia Iqbal.
With the bat, Bismah Maroof has the ability to score runs at this level, but much improvement will be needed by the batting line-up which has failed too often on the big occasion in recent times, such as in the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier Final against South Africa.
It had a disappointing event at the Asia Cup 2008, registering only one win in the tournament over Bangladesh, having earlier suffered a humiliating defeat against the same opposition, but there were some positives with Urooj Mumtaz scoring her first ODI fifty.
