Expert Advice:

Sharanya Sadarangani, recently, played the European Cricket Series along with male cricketers where she impressed one and all with her keeping. However, with the bat, she didn’t get enough and her batting numbers aren’t promising either in the domestic circuit. Karthika Vijayaraghavan is a better choice when it comes to wicketkeeper roles for this game.

Probable Winners:

Germany Women are expected to thump the hosts Austria Women by a huge margin in the first match.
