The Queens, on the other hand, also secured two victories in their three outings, with their only blemish being the loss against the Superstarz. Both sides have showcased dominance in different phases of the league, and now, with the trophy on the line, expect a thrilling battle of skill, temperament, and nerve.

Players to watch out:
Tanisha Singh
The star of the tournament so far for the Superstarz, Tanisha’s blistering 76* off 50 balls against the Queens remains the highest-impact knock of the competition. With 82 runs from just two innings, she sits second on the run charts. Her ability to dominate the bowling and anchor innings makes her a vital cog in South Delhi’s title hopes.
Disha Nagar
A proven match-winner with the ball, Disha turned the tide against the Queens earlier with a brilliant spell of 2/28. Calm under pressure, she thrives in crunch situations, offering both control and breakthroughs. Her role in neutralizing the Queens’ batting firepower could be decisive in the final.
Deeksha Sharma
The most consistent batter of the league, Deeksha has amassed 111 runs, making her the leading run-scorer of the tournament. Her crucial 45-run knock at the top was instrumental in laying platforms for the Queens. Whether it’s steadying the innings or accelerating in the middle overs, her composure and adaptability make her one to watch.
Nidhi Mahto
The undisputed bowling star of the competition, Nidhi has claimed 7 wickets in 3 matches, including a sensational 5/20 against East Delhi Riders. Her leg-spin has dismantled line-ups, and she remains the tournament’s most threatening bowler. If she finds her rhythm early, the Superstarz could face serious trouble.
Pitch:
The Arun Jaitley Stadium has traditionally been a paradise for batters, offering true bounce and value for strokes. Fast bowlers may find early assistance with the new ball, but as the match progresses, spinners are likely to play a big role with the surface gripping and slowing down. Expect runs on the board but also watch out for spinners dictating terms in the middle overs.
Weather:
Delhi’s skies could play spoilsport, with heavy thunderstorms predicted. The mercury will hover around 31°C with 85% humidity and an 80% chance of rain, making interruptions a real possibility. Teams may need to factor in rain-curtailed scenarios in their strategies.
Fantasy Playing XI:
Shweta Sehrawat, Deeksha Sharma, Nidhi Mahto, Medhavi Bidhuri, Soni Yadav, Ritisha Khushi, Vandana Chaturvedi, R Priyadarshni, Himkashi Choudhary, Aujasvie Gahlot, Chhavi Gupta
