Players to watch out:
Maria Corazon
The 25-year-old top-order batter, from 17 T20I innings, has added 367 runs to the tally at an average of 30.58 and a strike rate of 105.45, with the best score of 53*. Maria, in her most recent campaign earlier this year, registered scores of 5, 25, and 21*. It will be expected that she builds on these starts, leading the scoring.
Fitria Rada Rani
The 27-year-old all-rounder in T20Is, from 23 outings, has picked up 25 wickets, and from 17 bowling innings has accumulated 191 runs, with bests of 4/11 and 53*. Fitria Rada Rani, in a bilateral series in April 2024, registered scores of 18*, 53*, and 17, while not bowling. She is a seasoned player and can be relied upon for the goods.
Tshering Zangmo
The 26-year-old all-rounder in T20Is, from 19 outings, has posted 212 runs and has taken 17 scalps from 18 innings, with bests of 34* and 2/4. Tshering, while bagging a couple of wickets from her 3 outings in her most recent campaign earlier this year, registered a string of starts, scoring 8, 16, and 12. She’ll be backed to step up her efforts.
Sonam
The 19-year-old pacer, averaging 16.55 and maintaining an economy rate of 5.80, has bagged 9 wickets from 10 T20Is, registering a best of 4/13. Sonam has gone wicketless in her previous 4 T20Is, including her most recent series earlier this year, where her returns read 0/2, 0/8, and 0/32. The team will be hopeful that she finds her rhythm.
Pitch:
The wicket at the Udayana Cricket Ground offers a relatively balanced playing field as the conditions favor both batters and bowlers. Spinners gain an advantage from the conditions, and a score in the 140s is considered to be challenging on this track.
Weather:
The temperature is forecasted to hover around 28°C, with a humidity level of 84% and moderate winds. If the skies don’t clear, expect rain delays and interruptions during the match hours, with showers on the radar throughout the day.
