Players to watch out:
Riya Chaudhari
The 23-year-old keeper-batter in the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy last season amassed 246 runs, at an average of 30.75, from 8 outings. This season, Riya struggled for runs in the T20 games; however, in the One Dayers, she has registered scores of 24(39), 76(84), and 19(12). She is a highly promising talent and can be relied upon to capitalize on this return to form, leading the scoring.
Janhvi Kate
The 23-year-old off-spinner in the 2023-24 Senior Women’s One Day Trophy picked up 12 wickets from 7 outings, at an average of 15.00 and a strike rate of 3.07. Though Janhvi had a quiet start to this domestic season, picking up 3 wickets from 6 T20s, in their most recent outing and her first One Dayer of the season, she produced figures of 3/18 (10). She can be trusted for breakthroughs.
Trisha Poojitha
The 22-year-old top-order batter in the 2023-24 Senior Women’s One Day Trophy accumulated 142 runs from 6 outings and registered the highest score of 53. Trisha’s poor run of form has continued into this season, where she has managed notable scores of 34(32), 19*(20), and 25(25) in the T20 games. She departed for a 7-ball duck in her most recent outing but should be backed to find her footing.
Gouher Sultana
The 36-year-old left-arm off-spinner took 9 wickets, at an economy rate of 3.17, from 5 outings in the previous edition of the Senior Women’s One Day Trophy. This season, Gouher has picked up from where she left off, taking 7 wickets from 6 outings and producing bowling figures of 4/13 (10), 4/13 (10), and 0/46 (10) in the One Dayers so far. The seasoned spinner can be relied upon for wickets.
Pitch:
With an average score in the 210s, the 22 yards at ADSA Railways Cricket Ground make up a well-balanced pitch that offers a fair contest between bat and ball. However, bowlers certainly have the upper hand, and batters, once they have spent sufficient time in the middle, can accumulate runs effectively.
Weather:
With partly cloudy skies and a minimal chance of rain, the conditions are ideal for a complete game of cricket in Ahmedabad. The temperature is forecasted to hover in the early 20s (°C), with light winds and 34% humidity.
Fantasy playing XI:
Riya Chaudhari, Simran Shaikh, Humairaa Kaazi, Trisha Poojitha, Fatima Jaffer, Sayali Satghare, Mahesh Kavya, Manali Dakshini, Gouher Sultana, Soppadhandi Yashasri, Jagravi Pawar
