Pitch Report
Captains
The star India batter and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana was in a sensational run of form with the bat in the ODI series. She ended up scoring 343 runs in 3 innings with an outstanding average of 114.33, smashing 2 centuries and a half-century. The Indian opener will be a perfect fit to be chosen in the captaincy picks.
The Indian skipper Harmanpreer Kaur was also one of the top-performing batters in the three-match ODI series between India and Afghanistan. She scored 155 runs in 3 innings with an average of 77.50, including a century.
Top
Star South Africa all-rounder displayed an amazing batting class in the ODI series against the hosts India; she scored 145 runs in 3 innings with a very good average of 48.33. The 34-year-old also registered a century on her name.
Despite her team’s 0-3 loss against India in the ODI series, South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt scored 200 runs in 3 innings with an amazing average of 100.00, hitting a century and half-century.
Budget
The Proteas wicketkeeper-batter Sinalo Jaffa got to play only one game in the ODI series against India. She scored an unbeaten 27 runs in an innings for her side and is also expected to perform in the T20I series as well.
The South Africa all-rounder Nadine de Klerk was also in good form in the ODI series, scoring 54 runs in 2 innings, with an average of 27.00. She could be a good ‘budget pick’ in the fantasy team for this match.
