Players to watch out:
Simran Shaikh
The 22-year-old top-order batter in the 2023 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy added 131 runs from 10 outings, at an impressive strike rate of 129.70, with the highest score of 42. Simran kicked off the 2024-25 domestic campaign, adding 176 runs from 9 innings in the same competition, and it is hoped she builds on this momentum, leading the scoring for her side in the Challenger Trophy.
Mamta Paswan
The 25-year-old pacer capped off a notable 2023-24 domestic season with a five-fer in a red-ball game, and earlier in the season, had claimed 8 wickets from 6 outings in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy. Mamta has stepped up her efforts this season, claiming 13 wickets from 6 outings in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, and can be counted on to produce the breakthroughs.
Harleen Deol
The 26-year-old all-rounder in the 2024 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, at an average of 25.83, accumulated 155 runs from 9 appearances and hasn’t bowled yet. Extending this form into the Senior Women’s T20 Challenger Trophy, Harleen scored a quickfire 18-ball 32 in the tournament opener. Given her recent success, she can be banked upon for big scores.
Priya Mishra
The 20-year-old leg-spinner, on the back of a successful 2023-24 domestic season, was named in the India A squad for the multi-format series against Australia A, where she produced figures of 5/14 (5) in her only One Dayer and 7/117 in a red-ball game. Priya then went on to make her India debut, producing figures of 1/49 and 2/41, and can be trusted for the wickets.
Pitch:
The JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi, offers a slow track, one that poses challenges for batters and provides an advantage to spinners. The average score in the 130s indicates the need for careful batting on this wicket.
Weather:
It will be a pleasant day for cricket in Ranchi, with no expected rain interruptions and clear skies. The temperature will be around 19°C, with light winds and a humidity level of 56%.
