Players to watch out :
T Singh
The 20-year-old top-order batter, averaging 106.34, has amassed 335 runs, registering 3 fifties and a century with the highest of 107 from 7 outings. Only recently, Tanisha scored a solid 91(87), and there is hope that she carries forward the momentum into the Semi-Final, leading the scoring.
P Mishra
The 19-year-old bowler has been exceptional for the team in the One-Day competition, scalping as many as 23 wickets from 7 appearances, averaging 7.60, and maintaining an economy rate of 3.32. Priya has returned successive figures of 3/23, 3/28, 4/33, 2/37, and 4/30, and will be relied upon for the goods.
D Hemalatha
The 29-year-old all-rounder has, from 4 outings, amassed 207 runs, including the highest of 80, averaging 51.75. Dayalan notched up a 94-ball 80 and a 55-ball 80 an innings apart while producing successive bowling figures of 1/11 and 2/11. Expect her to capitalize on the form she is in.
P Yadav
