TEAMS PREVIEW

Odisha Women CC Preview

Odisha Women suffered a four-wicket defeat against Himachal Pradesh Women in their previous match of the Senior Women's T20 Trophy Elite 2026/27. Batting first, Odisha were bowled out for 129 in 19.3 overs. Himachal Pradesh chased down the target in 19.5 overs, finishing at 135/6.

With the bat, Subhra Swain was the standout performer, scoring 56 off 54 balls. Alipsa Biswal contributed 24 runs off 23 deliveries, while wicketkeeper Pragyan P Mohanty provided a quick boost with 20 off 11 balls. However, Odisha lost Madhuri Meheta for a duck, while captain Sushree Dibyadarshini managed nine runs and Tanmayee Behera scored 11, leaving the team short of a stronger total.

Ananya L Mishra led the attack with an impressive spell of 3/18 in four overs. Subhra Swain also claimed two wickets for 18 runs in 2.5 overs, while Jyoti Prasad picked up one wicket for 26 runs. Taranna Pradhan went wicketless, conceding 24 runs in four overs, while SB Lorence and Sushree Dibyadarshini conceded 23 and 26 runs respectively in their three-over spells without taking a wicket.

Odisha Women will aim to improve their batting performance and build stronger partnerships to avoid another collapse. Their bowling attack showed promise through Ananya L Mishra and Subhra Swain, but the team will need greater support from the remaining bowlers to defend totals more effectively.

Saurashtra Womens Preview

Saurashtra Women suffered an eight-run defeat against Rajasthan Women in their previous match of the Senior Women's T20 Trophy Elite 2026/27. Rajasthan posted 119/6 in 20 overs, and Saurashtra managed 111/8 in reply, falling short of the target despite batting through their allotted 20 overs.

Saurashtra Women struggled to gain momentum early in the chase, with Sarasvati Kanojiya falling for a duck. Krishi Thakkar tried to steady the innings with 33 off 41 balls, while Hirva Vadher chipped in with 20 from 27 deliveries. Ayushi Patel provided late aggression, scoring 34 off just 20 balls, but the contributions from Umeshwari Jethva (5), Miloni Jivani (6) and Salonee Dangore (0) were limited. The lack of runs from the lower order ultimately left Saurashtra short of the target.

With the ball, Neha Chavda and Salonee Dangore picked up two wickets each, conceding 32 and 25 runs respectively. Nitya Panchal and Ayushi Patel also claimed one wicket apiece, both conceding 13 runs in their three-over spells. Puja Modhwadia and Thappetla Dharani went wicketless, conceding 23 and 13 runs respectively.

Saurashtra Women will look to improve their batting performance against Odisha Women, particularly by building partnerships and increasing the scoring rate during the middle overs. Ayushi Patel's aggressive approach could be important, while the bowlers will aim to maintain the discipline they showed in the previous match as the team searches for its first win of the tournament.

Key Players: Ayushi Patel, Krishi Thakkar, Neha Chavda

Saurashtra Womens Predicted Playing XI:

Sarasvati Kanojiya, Krishi Thakkar, Umeshwari Jethva, Miloni Jivani, Hirva Vadher, Ayushi Patel, Salonee Dangore, Puja Modhwadia, Neha Chavda, Thappetla Dharani, Nitya Panchal
