TEAMS PREVIEW

India A Women U-19 Preview

India A Women U19 head into the contest on the back of a disappointing defeat against India B in the tri-series opener. India B batted first and posted 179 runs, with their opening batters adding 130 runs to provide a strong foundation. In reply, India A were bowled out for 106, with Achsah Parmar picking up three wickets for 16 runs. Their top three batters managed 22 runs each but failed to convert their starts into substantial contributions. India A were 80/3 in the 12th over but suffered a dramatic collapse, losing their final seven wickets for just 26 runs.

India A will be eager to register their maiden victory in the tournament and improve their performances in the upcoming matches. Several players in the squad will also be looking to impress and strengthen their chances of earning selection in India's U19 squad for the upcoming World Cup in Bangladesh and Nepal. Their batting unit will need to show greater composure in the middle overs, while the bowlers will be expected to make early inroads.

Arya Pongde will be one of the players to watch, having emerged as the Player of the Series in the Women's U19 T20 Challenger Trophy 2026–27, scoring 186 runs in three innings. Bhavika Ahire was instrumental for India U19 against Sri Lanka, accumulating 129 runs at an average of 43. Mahak Narwase will be an important bowling option, having claimed 32 wickets in 16 Women's List A matches at an average of 14.40. Maitri Maniar also impressed against Sri Lanka U19, picking up four wickets and will be crucial to India's bowling plans.

India A Women U-19 Predicted Playing XI:

Tanishka Sharma, Arya Pongde, Ira Jadhav, Bhavika Ahire (C & WK), Nidhi Mahto, Purva Siwach, Mahak Narwase, Maitri Maniar, Nandhana Sridharan, Gouri Goyal and Preeti Kapoor.

Nepal Women U19 Preview

Nepal U19 Women will be looking to bounce back in their second assignment of the Women's U19 India-Nepal Tri-Series after suffering a heavy defeat against India B in their opening match. Nepal managed just 49 runs in their 20 overs, with 17 being the highest individual score and only one batter reaching double figures. India B's bowlers delivered four maiden overs, highlighting Nepal's struggles to build partnerships and maintain a scoring rate. The target proved a straightforward chase for India B, who reached the total in just five overs, losing only one wicket.

Nepal U19 Women finished third in the ACC Women's U19 Premier Cup 2026, winning five of their six matches. Their only defeat came against the UAE in the semifinal, where they lost in a Super Over. They responded strongly in the third-place playoff, defeating Indonesia by nine wickets. Nepal carried that momentum into the recently concluded Belt and Road U19 Girls T20I Series in China, finishing unbeaten to lift the title. They will now aim to rediscover that form in the ongoing tri-series.

Sabitri Dhami will be a key player in the batting department, having finished as Nepal's leading run-scorer in the ACC Women's U19 Premier Cup 2026 with 256 runs, including three half-centuries. Sana Praveen also made a significant contribution with 189 runs, while captain Sony Pakhrin scored 90 runs. In the bowling department, Manisha Upadhayay topped Nepal's wicket charts with 12 wickets, followed by Riya Sharma and Anu Kadayat, who claimed 10 wickets each. Pakhrin also contributed with the ball, taking seven wickets in the tournament.

Nepal Women U19 Predicted Playing XI:

Sabitri Dhami, Trisana Bishwokarma, Sony Pakhrin (C), Tika Shah, Anjila Pathak, Prinsha Magar (WK), Jyotsnika Marasini, Rachana Chaudhary, Riya Sharma, Manisha Chaudhary and Ashika Mahara.

INDAW-U19 vs NEPU19-W Pitch Report

The surface at the BCCI Centre of Excellence is expected to provide decent batting conditions, although a high-scoring contest may not be on the cards. Batting could become slightly easier in the second innings, which may give the chasing side an advantage. However, teams will need to make the most of the powerplay, as a positive start will be crucial to building a competitive total.

The average first-innings score across the last five matches at this venue is 123 runs, suggesting that a total of 140 or more could put the batting-first side in a strong position. The highest successful chase at the ground stands at 127, indicating that chasing a substantial target could be challenging. Both teams will therefore look to capitalise on the early overs and avoid losing wickets in clusters.

Score prediction: 

If Nepal U19 Women bat first - 105-110 runs 

If India A U19 Women bat first - 145-160 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five women's T20 matches at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, teams batting first have won three times, indicating a slight advantage for sides setting a target. However, totals below 130 have been chased down comfortably, suggesting that defending a modest score could be difficult. The surface calls for a sensible batting approach, with partnerships playing an important role, while a positive start and acceleration during the powerplay will be crucial to posting a competitive total.

Both teams have enjoyed better results when bowling first and are therefore likely to prefer chasing if they win the toss. They will look to restrict the opposition to a manageable total before making the most of the potentially easier batting conditions in the second innings.

Toss Prediction: Nepal U19 Women to win the coin toss.
