Players to watch for
· Ruhina Pegu
The right-handed batter is the third-highest run scorer of the tournament with scores of 14, 37, 5, and 36, she has got starts but is yet to play a big innings. And against the in-form team of Kapili Princess, she will look to come big against them.
· Jinti Moni Kalita
Her all-round performance has done the same in the ongoing tournament. She has scored 87 runs which includes scores of 18, 11, 18, and 40. She has also taken 2 wickets. The Dashers will hope she fares well in the next match.
· Rupsika Teronopi
Her best of 2/7 came against the same opposition on the 24th of August. For the Princess to continue their winning momentum, she will hope to repeat the same performance against them.
· Nibedita Baruh
She has bowled 10 overs in the tournament and has managed to pick 2 scalps. But the main thing about her bowling is her ability to stop the run flow. She has maintained an economy rate of just 3.22 and will look to lower this in the upcoming match.
Pitch
The pitch majorly favors the bowlers and the average first innings score of 72 suggests the same. It has some advantages for the spinners and the team with better spinners will have the upper hand.
Weather
The weather looks gloomy with 100% precipitation expected. It will be a humid environment with 90% humidity. The wind will blow slowly at just 10 km/h and the temperature will revolve around 30 degrees Celsius.
