IND W vs THA W: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana is expected to be India's standout batter in this contest. The left-handed opener possesses the ability to take the game away from the opposition during the powerplay and will be looking to make full use of the batting-friendly phases. Against Thailand, Mandhana's experience and ability to score quickly could prove decisive.

Probable Best Bowler: Renuka Singh Thakur

Renuka Singh Thakur could be India's biggest threat with the ball. The right-arm pacer can extract movement with the new ball and has the skill to trouble batters with her swing and variations. If there is any assistance available from the Dubai surface early on, Renuka could make a significant impact.
