The ongoing inaugural edition of the Women’s Bengal Pro Twenty20 (T20) League will see Servotec Siliguri Strikers and Adams Howrah Warriors lock horns in match no. 20 at the Jadavpur University Complex, Kolkata. The game is slated for the 21st of June 2024, at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
Squads:
Servotec Siliguri Strikers – Priyanka Bala, Brishti Maji, Preeti Mondal, Jahnavi Raj Paswan, Dipita Ghosh, Pampa Sarkar, Samayita Adhikary, Mallika Roy, Priya Pandey, Abhishruti Dhar, Sohini Yadav, Anjali Burman, Chandrima Ghosal, Muskan Sinha, Snigdha Bag, Sreetama Mali

Players to watch out:
Brishti Maji
The 20-year-old keeper-batter, from 4 outings in this competition, has added 81 runs to the tally at an average of 20.25. Brishti scored 19 runs off 12 balls batting in the middle-order in a recent game and followed up with a 39-ball 29 opening the innings. She has got runs under her belt, and it’ll be expected that she converts her string of starts into substantial scores.
Snigdha Bag
The right-arm bowler has had a notable campaign thus far, securing 6 wickets from 4 outings, maintaining an economy rate of 5.25, while not being required much with the bat. Snigdha, in her previous couple of outings, has recorded bowling figures of 1/19 (4.0) and 2/27 (4.0). It’ll be hoped she builds on this form, continuing to lead the tally.
Dhara Gujjar
The 21-year-old all-rounder, from 4 outings in the competition, has posted 98 runs on the board and also bagged a couple of wickets, with bests being 60 and 1/14. Though Dhara has departed cheaply for 3 (runout) and 13 (15) in her previous outings, she bagged a wicket each in both the games. She’ll be backed to step up her all-round efforts.
Prativa Mandi
The 16-year-old all-rounder has had a decent campaign, chipping in with 57 runs from 3 outings and picking up as many wickets at an economy rate of 5.50. Prativa has produced figures of 2/4 (3) and 0/27 (4) in her previous outings and also registered scores of 16 (15) and 17 (25). Given her form, count on her for contributions with both bat and ball.
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 in the lead-up to the game and in the latter stages of the game, the likelihood of a complete game is minimal. The temperature is expected to be around 31°C, with light winds and humidity at 84%.
