Pitch Report

The surface at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara is known for its balanced nature, with a slight inclination towards the batters in the first innings of the game. The average score here has been 108 runs while the first-innings score is 118. The Pacers might get going in the second half of the game; so, the toss-winning skipper will look ahead to bat first to post a troubling total for the opponent to chase down.

TP Kanwer

GUJ-W | BAT

GJ-W’s Tanuja Kanwer has scalped only 11 wickets in the last 10 matches with an expensive economy rate of 8.03. It would be a wise move to ignore him from this game’s fantasy team.

7.5

Mannat Kashyap

GUJ-W | ALL

GJ-W’s bowling all-rounder Mannat Kashyap has not been in an expected run of form, both with the bat and the ball in the last couple of limited-overs games. She can also be avoided while picking this game’s dream11 team.
