Heading into tomorrow’s clash at the Terdthai Cricket Ground, India A Women find themselves in a solid second position in Group A. After a bit of a stumble in their opening game against the UAE, the Indian side bounced back in the most clinical way possible, dismantling Pakistan A by 8 wickets.
Their Net Run Rate (NRR) of 1.830 is currently the best in the group, proving just how much damage they can do when they click. On the flip side, Nepal Women have had a tough start to their campaign. Sitting at the bottom of the table with zero points after two matches, they’ve struggled to find their rhythm, coming off an 18-run loss to the UAE and a 30-run defeat to Pakistan.
For India A, the momentum is firmly with Vrinda Dinesh, who looked like she was playing on a different surface during her unbeaten 55 off 29 balls last game. Alongside her, skipper Radha Yadav has been leading the bowling unit with pinpoint accuracy.
For Nepal, the goal tomorrow is simple: pride and a potential upset. They’ve shown flashes of brilliance—particularly Samjhana Khadka, who notched a fighting half-century against the UAE—but they’ll need a near-perfect collective effort to topple an Indian side that is currently smelling blood and eyeing that top spot.
