Representing North Delhi Strikers in the 2nd edition of the Women’s Delhi Premier League, she brings valuable experience from playing at the domestic level for Delhi. Known for her calm yet assertive batting style, Ayushi will look to strengthen her team’s title defence with consistent runs.
Upasana Yadav
Explosive and fearless, 21-year-old Upasana Yadav adds the X factor to the North Delhi Strikers lineup. A dynamic top-order batter, she thrives on power-hitting and can change the game in a matter of overs. Sbe amassed 270 runs, including the highest of 114, from just four outings last season. With domestic experience under her belt, Upasana’s aggressive intent makes her one of the most dangerous batters.
Deeksha Sharma
Reliable and composed, Deeksha Sharma showed her class with a crucial 45-run knock opening the batting, in their season opener, setting the platform for her side. With her ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed, she remains a key batter to watch in pressure situations.
Nidhi Mahto

The crafty right-arm leg-break bowler has the ability to break partnerships and swing the game in her team’s favour, making her a vital weapon in the bowling attack.
Pitch:
The Arun Jaitley Stadium promises an intriguing contest between bat and ball. While the surface generally produces scores in the 150s, its lively nature ensures that batters are never fully settled. Pacers thrive with the new ball, extracting bounce and movement, while spinners find enough grip to stay in the game during the middle overs.

As for conditions, expect a hot and humid afternoon in Delhi with temperatures around 33°C, humidity at 69%, and scattered thunderstorms forecast. Rain interruptions could play a role, making toss decisions and strategies even more crucial.
