Squads:
Team A
Harleen Deol (C), Richa Ghosh, Ananya Pradeep, Priya Punia, Trisha Poojitha, Rubia Syed, Mita Paul, Arundhati Reddy, Yashasri, Kaushalya Choudhary, Hani Patel, Fatima Jaffer, Saika Ishaque, SB Keerthana, Priya Mishra

Players to watch out:
Priya Punia
The 28-year-old opening batter, in her most recent T20 campaign in August 2024 against Australia A, registered scores of 76, 29, and 11. Priya, in the ongoing Senior Women’s T20 Challenger Trophy, had a quiet start, departing for 15(16), but followed up with a 15-ball 24 and can be banked upon to convert the scores she’s managed, leading the scoring for her side.
Fatima Jaffer
The 22-year-old all-rounder, building on her previous season’s success, in the 2024 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, claimed 14 wickets from 10 outings, at an economy rate of 5.15. Carrying the momentum into the Challenger Trophy, Fatima has produced bowling returns of 0/23 (4) and 0/17 (2). She can be relied upon for wickets and handy runs lower down the order.
Vrinda Dinesh
The 23-year-old opening batter, from 3 outings in the 2024 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, accumulated 99 runs at a strike rate of 119.27. Vrinda is a highly promising talent, and though she has departed cheaply on scores of 6(8) and 17(12) in the Challenger Trophy, she should be backed to capitalize on the start she has had, stepping up her efforts with the bat.
Titas Sadhu
The 20-year-old pacer, from 9 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), has secured as many wickets at an economy rate of 5.44. From 3 outings in the 2024 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, Titas secured 5 wickets at an economy rate of 6.19, and her returns in the Challenger Trophy read 1/18 (3) and 1/43 (4). Given her form, she can be counted on to spearhead the bowling attack.
Pitch:
The center wicket at JSCA International Stadium Complex favors the batters, offering them a friendly surface to bat on. However, the track also benefits the bowlers, both spinners and pacers, with ample assistance to exploit, as evidenced by the average score in the 140s.
Weather:
The conditions in Ranchi are forecasted to be pleasant for cricket, with no anticipated rain interruptions and clear skies. The temperature will be around 21°C, with light winds and humidity at 53%.
Fantasy playing XI:
