Players to watch out:
Bhavika Ahire
Bhavika has been one of the most consistent performers for Royals, a front force who often lays the foundation. A dependable top-order batter, she displayed great composure in a standout innings of 33 off 27 balls, anchoring the top order in a match where the rest of the lineup struggled. Her ability to hold one end has been vital in building partnerships for the Royals.
Yashoda Ghogare
Yashoda has provided valuable stability and balance to the bowling side of the Royals. In her previous game against Pune Warriors, she picked up 2/16 alongside captain Kiran Navgire. She bowls tightly, often absorbing pressure.
Ishwari Savkar
Ishwari has emerged as a match-winner for Solapur with her attacking style and confidence at the crease. She recently smashed a commendable knock of 75 off 62 balls, also emerging as the player of the match. Her positive intent at the top has often given Solapur strong starts.
Laxmidevi Yadav
Yadav has been instrumental with the ball for Solapur Smashers. Known for her tight spells and crucial breakthroughs, she’s consistently delivered in the middle overs. She recently picked up 3/35 in 4 overs guiding Solapur to victory. Her variations and control have made her a key figure in restricting opposition run flow, particularly in pressure situations.
Pitch:
The MCA wicket is both hard and even, ideal for stroke play. Fast bowlers can expect early swing, but it’s the spinners who could make a difference in the second half with some grip off the surface. The pitch seems to offer both sides of the units.
Weather:
Slightly overcast conditions but not threatening, Pune will witness a humid day with a temperature of around 32°C. The humidity at 63% may get testing, but the forecast promises a complete game of cricket.
