Players to watch out:
Mamata Kisku
The 24-year-old middle-order batter has had a successful start to this campaign, scoring a 48-ball 53* in her maiden appearance and did not bowl. The team will count on Mamata to make the most of this start and carry this form into the business end of the tournament.
Mita Paul
The 29-year-old all-rounder in the season opener notched up a solid 49-ball 57* opening the innings and with the ball, produced figures of 1/11 (4). Having featured for Zonal teams and the senior state teams, the seasoned campaigner can be relied upon to capitalize on the start she has had.
Priyanka Goldar
The 15-year-old all-rounder had a decent start to this campaign, chipping in with a 25-ball 20 and with the ball, she picked up the big wicket of set batter Ankita Barman, returning figures of 1/22 (3). It is expected that Priyanka steps up her efforts, delivering the goods.
Piyali Ghosh
The 20-year-old all-rounder had an outstanding start to this campaign, first returning bowling figures of 1/13 (4) and followed up with a mature match-winning 40* off 39 balls in the second innings. Piyali has had a promising start and hopefully continues this all-round form.
Pitch:
The Jadavpur University Complex features a slow track that poses difficulties for batters, and the average score in the 110s indicates the challenging conditions. Bowlers, especially spinners, benefit from these conditions and are set to play a dominant role in the game.
Weather:
With partly cloudy skies and a very low chance of rain, it will be a good day for cricket in Kolkata. The temperature is expected to hover around 37°C, with moderate winds and humidity at 66%.
Fantasy playing XI:
