Strengths 🇮🇳
The opening pair. Mandhana is striking at 122.82 at an average of 45 this year with fifties, while Shafali is averaging 36.16, striking at 132.72, and has 3 fifties, including an 81.
Weaknesses 🇮🇳
Potentially unsettled batting order. In the last few matches, India have had a flexible middle order, which can both be a good or bad thing. No 3 batter unsettled.
Look Out for 🇮🇳
With the Ball : Radha Yadav.
This tournament might be one for left arm spinners in the UAE, and Radha Yadav is no exception.
With the Bat: Jemimah Rodrigues. She has already played a T20Is at the age of 24. SR is at the lower end of 114.26, but is averaging 30.5 with 11 fifties.
Strengths 🇳🇿 White Ferns
Suzie Bates. One of the GOAT 🐐.
Weaknesses 🇳🇿 White Ferns
1. Not qualified for the semi-finals in the last 3 T20 World Cups.
2. Lost all of their last 10 T20Is.
3. The experienced Sophie Devine isn’t standing up consistently with the bat.
Look Out for 🇳🇿 White Ferns
With the Ball: Amelia Kerr.
Just watch her googlies. Talent for the ages.
Just watch her googlies. Talent for the ages.
With the Bat: Amelia Kerr. Also has a 232* in her name in ODI innings. Can do wonders with bat also.
■Both teams have strong top-order, with the likes of Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma from India matched by White Ferns counterparts in Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr.
