9. Anya Shrubsole
10. Sophie Ecclestone
11. Pooja Vastrakar
– Going heavy on EN-W as they’re looking better than IND-W to win this game.
– Natalie Sciver looks safest captain choice considering her two down batting and at least 7-8 overs with the bowl.
– Deepti Sharma might be a good VC choice as she’s batting at middle order and bowling 7-8 overs too.
– Expecting Raut to go big this time as she got decent start during the last match but failed to play a good knock.
– Heather Knight will surely look to play a top knock in this game as she doesn’t go without runs in two consecutive matches.
– Pooja Vastrakar can score some decent runs at down the order and bowling 4-5 overs too.
Small League Combination 2 –
1. Amy Jones
2. Mithali Raj(C)
3. Tammy Beaumont(VC)
4. Punam Raut
5. Katherine Brunt
6. Natalie Sciver
7. Harmanpreet Kaur
8. Deepti Sharma
9. Anya Shrubsole
10. Sophie Ecclestone
11. Ekta Bisht
– Mithali and Beaumont are the other two safe C/VC choices considering their good numbers at venue & H2H and lethal form during the last game.
– Dropped Heather Knight as she doesn’t got to bowl during the last match so might not be much effective with her batting only.
– Taking punt on Harmanpreet Kaur as her top knock is on due from the last couple of matches.
– Ekta Bisht can give atleast 25-30 points in D11 as she hasn’t gone wicketless in last 9 H2H matches.

8. Deepti Sharma
9. Sophie Ecclestone
10. Ekta Bisht
11. Jhulan Goswami(C)
– Going heavy on IND-W as they might go with all the guns blazing to win this encounter.
– Jhulan Goswami will have the responsibility to do enough damage with the bowl at the starting of the innings.
– Expecting Mithali to play a top knock in this game as she has enough experience of playing in English conditions.
– Smriti might step up to score some quick runs during the initial PP of the innings.
– Can take Shafali Verma at the place of Punam Raut.
– Harmanpreet will be another good C/VC choice to be tried in different combinations of GL.
