Pitch Report
Captains: 9
Ashleigh Gardner GUJ-W | all
Gujarat Giants’ all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner has accumulated 92 runs from four innings and pocketed three wickets with the ball. She would be a decent captaincy choice in this game.
Smriti Mandhana BAN-W | bat
Smriti Mandhana is the currently orange cap holder with 219 runs from five innings at an average of 43.8 with two consecutive fifty-plus totals.
Richa Ghosh BAN-W | WK
Keeper-batter Richa Ghosh has amassed 109 runs from four innings at an average of 36.33. The explosive middle-order batter would be playing cameos in the death overs.
Ellyse Perry BAN-W | ALL
RCB all-rounder Ellyse Perry has amassed 139 runs from five innings at an average of 27.8 with one fifty-plus score. She is yet to bring out her A-game and we can expect her to turn the tables soon.
Georgia Wareham BAN-W | bowl
Leg-spinner Georgia Wareham has scalped five wickets from five innings. Though much better performance is expected from the spinner, we can expect her to reverse the fortunes.
Sabbhineni Meghana BAN-W | bat
Sabbhineni Meghana is the second leading run-scorer, amassing 164 runs from five innings at an average of 41 with one fifty.
