Expert Advice:

Shafali Verma can’t be ignored from the fantasy team due to the recent failures. Her century in the first One-Day match is proof of her class that came against a strong Australia A bowling attack. She showed glimpses of her talent in the following matches but just couldn’t convert. With not much pressure in the last game, Shafali could produce a big knock and sign off the tour in style.

Probable Winners:

India A Women is expected to finish the tour with a win.
