The game will be played at Jadavpur University Complex, Kolkata, and the live action commences at 9:00 AM Indian Standard Time (IST).
Squads:
Rashmi Medinipur Wizards – Richa Ghosh, Ankita Burman, Monika Mal, Dyutit Pal, Preyashi Pandey, Tanuja Sarkar, Sanjana Kumari Das, Pragati Prasad, Priti Mahato, Debarati Guha, Zoya Laskar, Roji Khatun, Kashish Vinod Agarwal, Shreya Roy, Trishita Sarkar, Pratyusha Dey, Arpita Bhowmik

Players to watch out:
Kashish Vinod Agarwal
The 23-year-old opening batter has accumulated 115 runs from 4 outings, at an average of 28.75, in this competition. Kashish kicked off this campaign with a solid 27 and built on the momentum in a recent game when she notched up a 57-ball 69. Though she departed for 13 in her most recent game, she is a promising batter and hopefully finds consistency.
Debarati Guha
The right-arm off-spinner, maintaining an economy rate of 5.00, has taken 3 wickets from 2 games in this competition thus far. Debarati didn’t feature in the first couple of games and on debut returned figures of 3/11 (4.0). In her subsequent game, she leaked 19 runs off a couple of overs and should be backed to find her wicket-taking and economical best.
Prativa Rana
The 27-year-old top-order batter in the competition thus far hasn’t had a successful campaign, adding only 45 runs to the tally from 3 innings. Prativa, in her recent couple of games, has managed scores of 21 (17) and 5 (7), and it’ll be expected that the seasoned batter finds her footing, converting her starts into substantial scores in the games to come.
Priyanka Sarkar
The 23-year-old pacer, averaging 6.88 and maintaining an economy rate of 6.11, has scalped 8 wickets from 4 outings in this competition. Priyanka, in her previous couple of outings, has produced bowling figures of 4/15 (4.0) and 3/18 (4.0) and can also be handy with the bat on a few occasions. She is in great rhythm and can be banked upon for the goods.
Pitch:
The Jadavpur University Complex is a challenging venue for batters, as spinners, in particular, play a vital role in any team’s success. Teams have to be prepared to grind out a win in what is likely to be another low-scoring match.
Weather:
With rain on the radar during match hours, the likelihood of a complete game is minimal if the skies don’t clear. The temperature is expected to be around 32°C, with light winds and humidity at 84%.
Fantasy playing XI:
Dyutit Pal, Ankita Singh, Ankita Burman, Kashish Vinod Agarwal, Trishita Sarkar, Priyanka Sarkar, Priyanka Prasad, Sitama Nandi, Sneha Gupta, Shrayoshi Aich, Sandipta Patra
