PND-W vs SRT-W Match Prediction & Analysis

We have seen close but low-scoring games in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy 2025. The action now moves to Nagpur, where Pondicherry Women will face Saurashtra Women. Both teams have started the season with losses and will look for a win. While Pondicherry Women lost to Rajasthan Women, Saurashtra Women suffered a crushing defeat against Punjab Women. 

Pondicherry Women struggled with the bat in the last game, but their bowling attack looked good. They troubled a strong batting lineup, and the side will take confidence from those performances. Saurashtra Women looked rusty with the bat against Punjab, and it will be interesting to see if the team can overcome it in this game.

Weather Conditions

It will be clear skies over, and we will likely see a slow wicket, as we have seen in earlier games. Batters struggle here and must play to the merit of the ball. A score above 140 runs would be good for the side batting first. 

PND-W vs SRT-W Pitch Report

Lady Amritbai Daga College Ground is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn't come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers will receive some assistance from the surface and look to capitalize on it. It has been a good hunting ground for spinners in the past.

Toss: To Bowl

We expect a slow wicket where batters will have to play strokes on the merit of the ball. The side chasing the score has an advantage in such wickets. Both teams will have this in mind at the toss and choose to bowl first if they win the toss.
