Humairaa Kazi
The 31-year-old all-rounder has had another notable domestic season thus far, leading the scoring with 287 runs from 10 outings in this competition, averaging 31.89 and striking at 113.88, and can also be handy with the ball. In her previous two outings, Humairaa has registered scores of 37 (40) and 24 (22) and can be counted on to follow up with a substantial score in the must-win.
Sayali Satghare
The 26-year-old all-rounder has carried her domestic form from last season into this one, scalping 10 wickets from 6 outings in this competition, maintaining an economy rate of 5.33, while also scoring 86 runs from 5 innings. In her recent outings, Sayali has registered scores of 10 and 26, alongside bowling figures of 2/26 (4) and 1/2 (2), and can be banked upon for all-round efforts.
Tanusree Sarkar
The 26-year-old top-order batter has emerged as the leading run-scorer for the team in the competition this year, amassing 283 runs, at an average of 56.60, a strike rate of 114.11, from 8 outings, with the highest score of 51*. Leading up to the final, Tanusree has registered consecutive scores of 46* (44) and 36 (36), and it will be hoped she carries this momentum into the final.

Titas has featured in a couple of games in this competition and produced bowling figures of 3/30 (4) and 2/9 (4). She is a seasoned pacer in the domestic circuit and will be backed to deliver another match-winning spell.
