Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter — Shweta Sehrawat

Shweta Sehrawat broke to the scene when she represented India Women at the U-19 Women's World Cup and impressed everyone with her outings with the bat. Being the captain of the side, she could be the key performer with the bat in the tournament opener in New Delhi, as leadership is likely to get the best out of her. It will be interesting to see if the 21-year-old opener can live up to the fans' expectations.

Probable Best Bowler — Riti Tomar

Riti Tomar - a skilled off-spinner, could be a crucial addition to the North Delhi-based side's line-up on Sunday. She was among the best performers in the previous season as well and has the experience of bowling inside the powerplay overs. Riti also has the ability to keep the flow of runs in check, and does not give any loose deliveries to the batters to be able to open their arms, which is a great skill to have in 20-over cricket.
