– Expecting top knocks from both Raut and Wilson considering their good numbers at venue and H2H matches.
– Wilson and Brunt will be much crucial picks if Sciver doesn’t do well considering her continuous failures at this venue especially with the bat.
– Tania Bhatia will be a good GL pick if Amy Jones depart early who has looked a bit rusty during the test series and also at venue and H2H matches.
– Expecting Harmanpreet to score some good runs especially while chasing considering her average of 43 in 15 H2H innings.
– Try Katherine Brunt and Sneh Rana as C/VC in different combinations of GL.
