Gujarat Women take on Himachal Pradesh Women in the 75th match of the 2026 Senior Women's One-Day Trophy at Mangaldai. Himachal Pradesh have been impressive throughout the tournament, and although they've dropped their previous two matches, they're positioned at the top of Group D with 12 points from five games.

Considering how well Himachal have performed this season, they should enter this encounter as slight favorites.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Gujarat Womens Preview

Gujarat Women find themselves in a tricky spot and need to pick up wins soon before things get out of hand. They've played four matches so far and have three wins alongside three losses. Their most recent outing against Andhra Women ended in a six-wicket loss, and now they desperately need a big performance to get their campaign back on track.

Captain Renuka Chaudhari has led the way with the bat, putting together 131 runs across four innings at an average of 33. Her latest knock was an impressive 89 off 93 balls against Andhra, and the team will look to her once more as others have found it difficult to contribute with the bat consistently.

Simran Patel has done reasonably well at the top, making 118 runs in four innings at an average of 30. That said, her strike rate of just 44 is something that needs improvement moving forward.

The team will also want much more from batters like Arshia Dhariwal and Stuti Jani, who both have plenty of ability in these playing conditions. It feels like one of them is due for a substantial innings, and this could be the game where that happens.

On the bowling front, Jamsibhai Krutikaben has been the standout performer with nine wickets from four innings at an economy rate of 3.23. Renuka Chaudhari has chipped in well too, claiming eight wickets at 4.39.

Gujarat Womens Predicted Playing XI:

Simran Patel, Charlie Solanki, Arshia Dhariwal (W), Renuka Chaudhari (C), Stuti Jani, Nidhiben N Desai, Jiya Jain, Krishna Patel, Jamsibhai Krutikaben, Pushti Nadkarni, Gouri Goyal

Himachal Pradesh Womens Preview

Himachal Pradesh Women are sitting pretty at the top of Group D after winning three of their five fixtures. Two straight losses have hurt their momentum, though, and they will be desperate to get back to winning ways as the title race heats up. Their most recent game against Jharkhand ended in an eight-wicket loss, with the opposition chasing down 251 comfortably inside 46 overs.

Sushma Verma, their captain, has been in excellent form with the bat. She has made 313 runs from five appearances at a strike rate of 91. Her last knock was a superb unbeaten 94 from 93 deliveries against Jharkhand, and another match-winning contribution from her could prove decisive.

Harleen Deol has accumulated 228 runs in five games while opening, and Devanshi Verma has made 179 in the same number of matches. Both have given the batting unit plenty of stability at the top. Nikita S Chauhan has also contributed well, totalling 126 runs from five appearances this season.

The bowling unit has been dependable. Sushmita Kumari has been the pick of the attack, taking seven wickets at an economy of four runs per over. Jyoti Thakur and Nikita have picked up 11 wickets between them as well.

Himachal Pradesh Womens Predicted Playing XI:

Nikita S Chauhan, Devanshi Verma, Harleen Deol, Sushma Verma (C/W), Sonal Thakur, Shivani Singh, Neena Choudhary, Prachi Chauhan/ Manisha D, Sushmita Kumari, Jyoti Thakur, Yamuna Rana

GT-W vs HPH-W Pitch Report

Five games have been played at Mangaldai Sports Association Stadium in this Senior Women’s One-Day Trophy, and only one saw a high score. The top total here this season is J&K’s 268, which they chased down against Himachal Pradesh in 45.5 overs. The surface tends to be sluggish and becomes harder to bat on as the match progresses. A first-innings score around 180-200 should be tough to beat.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams have preferred to chase in four of the five games played at the Mangaldai Sports Association Stadium in this Senior Women's One-Day Trophy. This pattern is likely to continue for this match as well.
