Key Players and Expectations

Captain Harmanpreet Kaur is a wonderful player who has all qualities of good batsmanship along with very sharp and mature leadership. Other players like Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma can be hoped to play crucial innings in the series. Aggressive batting by Mandhana may ensure that she sets a rhythm to the innings and Sharma all-round capability ensures balance in the team.
