Players to watch out:
Arundhati Reddy
The 26-year-old all-rounder amassed 252 runs, averaging 126.00, from 5 outings in the recent One-Day competition, while also being amongst the wickets. Arundhati in the One-Day Inter Zonal opener registered figures of 82(89) and 2/60. She’ll be banked upon for the goods.
Tarannum Pathan
The 30-year-old all-rounder, from 8 ‘Senior One-Day Trophy’ appearances, accumulated 135 runs and scalped 8 wickets. Tarannum returned figures of 3/58 in the Inter-Zonal opener and, while departed cheaply for 2(3), she can be counted on to chip in with the bat.
Nuzhat Parween
The 27-year-old keeper-batter accumulated 227 runs, including the highest of 105, from 8 ‘Senior One-Day Trophy’ outings. Following a recent string of starts, Nuzhat notched up a fine 50 in the Inter-Zonal opener, and it’ll be expected she capitalizes on this start.
Sonam Yadav
The 16-year-old spinner in the ‘Senior One-Day Trophy’ bagged 15 wickets, at an average of 7.53 and an economy rate of 1.98, from 6 games. Following her best of 7/7 in the Inter-Zonal opener, Sonam registered figures of 2/7, and it’ll be hoped she leads the charts.
Pitch:
The center wicket at Vadodara International Cricket Stadium heavily favors the pacers, creating ideal conditions for bowling, evident from the average score in the 180s. Batters, when they settle in and find their rhythm, can accumulate runs effectively.
Weather:
It’ll be a bright sunny day in Kotambi with the temperature expected to hover around 26°C, light winds, and a humidity level of 58%. With a clear forecast, we are in for a complete game of cricket.
Fantasy playing XI:
Nuzhat Parween, Sneha Deepthi, Mona Meshram, Dayalan Hemalatha, Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, Tarannum Pathan, Sanjeevan Sajana, Poonam Yadav, Ekta Bisht, Tanuja Kanwar
