IN-W vs WI-W, Match 3: Top Five Picks

  1. Smriti Mandhana (IN-W): The standing Indian captain was not able to impact the first match with the bat as much as he would have liked. Smriti Mandhana will be looking to regain her form and score big in this match. 
  2. Hayley Matthews (WI-W): The West Indian opener can be crucial pick. Not only her explosive batting at the top-order but also her slow bowling can be beneficial for the team. 
  3. Deepti Sharma (IN-W): Deepti Sharma helped her team with impactful performances in both the trades. She can come lower down the order and score some vital runs and also pick up some crucial wickets with her off-spinners in the middle overs. 
  4. Shamilia Connell (WI-W): Shamilia Connell looked quite threatening with the new ball in the first match. With the Indian openers not in the best of forms, Connell can turn out to be a differential pick in the match. 
  5. Amanjot Kaur (IN-W): The Indian all-rounder was a pleasant surprise for her team in the first match of the tournament. She played a brilliant lower down the order and helped India reach a substantial total. The fact that Amanjot Kaur can also bowl a few overs makes her a great pick for the match.
