Nigar Sultana Joty, the Captain of the Women's Bangladesh team, would be one of the primary captain-batters to check out from the Bangla Tigers side. Nigar's batting is a mix of aggressive and composed approach, and she prefers to take her time before making a stroke.

In her T20I stint, she has scalped 31 wickets in 29 matches at an outstanding economy of 5.15.
