The in-form Madhya Pradesh Women will take on the struggling Saurashtra Women, who are still searching for their first win of the tournament. MP Women chased down 120 runs in their last game against Bengal.
It was a thrilling contest that went right down to the wire. Saurashtra Women have been expensive with the ball, conceding 142 and 171 bowling first in their last two outings.
Madhya Pradesh Women will back themselves to score big or chase down a total comfortably against Saurashtra on this ground. The chasing team has won 3 of the 4 matches played at this venue in Nagpur.
The Lady Amritbai Daga College Ground is the same venue where Pondicherry Women scored 171 runs against Saurashtra. Puja Modhwadia and Dharani Thappetla will be crucial for Saurasthra to restrict MP to a par score.
MP Women’s openers Anushka Sharma and Jincy George will be the key batters to watch out for in this match. Though they have depth in the batting lineup with a reliable middle order, the openers will play a key role in setting them up for a big score.

Madhya Pradesh Women are off to a strong start in the 2025 Senior Women’s T20 Trophy with back-to-back wins. They beat the runners-up of last year, Bengal, in a thrilling contest in their last outing, chasing down a 120-run target.
They will be confident coming into this game. There is plenty of help for the batters on this wicket, and skipper Rahila Firdous will be confident in her batters to chase down another total.
Right-arm medium fast bowler Priyanka will lead the bowling attack. She’s been exceptional in both games so far and will be one to watch out for in the race to be the top team bowler for MP.
Opening batter Anushka Sharma is also handy with the ball, and delivered 3 wickets for 19 runs and bowled a maiden over against Bengal. There is a great variety in this bowling attack, with the skipper using up to 7 bowling options in their opening match of the season.
Nikita Singh and Vaishnavi Sharma are other key wicket-takers in this squad who can put Saurashtra on the back foot. MP Women will expect a better outing from their star batter, Jincy George, at the top.
She failed to convert her start into something more significant in the last game. While Soumya Tiwari has struggled with her strike rates at number 3 in both games so far, Ananya Dubey emerged as a match-winning batter at number 4 in the recent win over Bengal.
Tiwari was a consistent performer last year who scored runs at an impressive rate. She will be keen on making a strong comeback as Madhya Pradesh Women lock horns with a struggling Saurashtra bowling attack.

They have been completely outplayed in both their outings so far. They conceded 140+ runs while bowling first on a wicket where other teams restricted the opposition to under 120 runs.
And in response, they failed to reach the 100-run mark in both run chases. Saurashtra Women will be under a lot of pressure going into this match. They haven’t got any reliable batters in the side.
Umeshwari Jethva and Dharani Thappetla were the only players to score double digits in the opening game. Jethva’s slow fifty and Thappetla’s 43-run knock led Saurashtra to 99 runs.
The wicket-keeping gloves changed hands from Thappetla, in the first game, to Jethva in the second. Dharani has turned out to be an impressive bowler and will be one to watch out for in this game.
There have been several changes in the batting order in just the first two games. The only constant has been the opening duo of Sarasvati Kanojiya and Umeshwari Jethva.
Shifa Karimbhai is a key player in the middle order. Though she’s failed to score double digits in both games, a lot depends on her to turn things around after early losses.
Hirva Vadher looks promising at number 4, and the likes of Thappetla and skipper Neha Chavda should follow in the lower middle order. It will be an uphill battle for Saurashtra Women to score a decent total against the mighty MP Women.

It will be a clear and sunny day in Nagpur with a high of 31 degrees Celsius. There are no clouds or rain expected around the match time or even later in the day. The humidity will be quite high during the game time, and the new-ball bowlers can expect some movement through the air during the powerplay.
Lady Amritbai Daga College Ground offers a balanced wicket that has something for everyone. The batters have played some phenomenal cricket on this wicket in recent games, and the bowlers have also dominated on other occasions this season. The average first innings score at this venue in the last 4 matches is 122 runs. If the team batting first can get past the 130-run mark, they will be in a winning position in this match.
The team bowling first has won 3 of the last 4 games played at this venue in this tournament. Madhya Pradesh Women have been successful in chasing down a target in both matches so far, and they will back themselves to continue doing the same in this outing as well.
Madhya Pradesh Women are a much stronger overall side in comparison. They’ve got a solid bowling attack that has delivered consistently, while the batting looks in fine touch as well. Saurashtra Women’s struggles with both bat and ball have gotten worse, and they will be under a lot of pressure. Madhya Pradesh Women will start as favourites in our match prediction.
