Players to watch out:
Jhumia Khatun
The 30-year-old all-rounder has had an impressive start to this campaign. With the ball, while Jhumia had a wicketless start, she followed up with figures of 2/24 (4), and with the bat, has registered scores of 33*(31) and 17(25). She can be relied upon to continue this all-round form.
Riya Das
The 22-year-old bowler wasn’t required with the bat in the series opener, and in her subsequent outing, she was run out for 2(5). With the ball, she has sent down notable spells, returning bowling figures of 2/15 (3) and 0/14 (2). The team will count on her to build on this momentum, delivering breakthroughs.
Priyanka Prasad
The 17-year-old all-rounder has had a bittersweet campaign thus far. Opening the innings with the bat, she departed cheaply for 4(6) and 0(1). However, she has compensated with the ball, producing figures of 1/14 (3) and 6/6 (4). She’ll be backed to find her footing with the bat while continuing her form with the ball.
Sneha Gupta
The 19-year-old all-rounder has been in decent form in this competition. With the bat, she has managed a couple of starts, registering scores of 15(22) and 11(28), and her returns with the ball read 2/20 (4) and 0/13 (3). She is a promising talent and will hopefully step up her efforts.
