The duo added an unbeaten 158-run partnership for the 2nd wicket as the Germany Women finished with 172/1.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather is unlikely to interrupt the match for the second consecutive time in this series.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Al Amerat’s Ministry Turf 1 ground is completely different in Men’s T20Is when compared to the 1st Women’s T20I on Tuesday. The pitches here get better as the match progresses but scorecard suggested Oman did struggle with the existence of scoreboard pressure. Since Wednesday’s match starts at 1:30 PM, we can expect a proper bat first and win sort of pitch.

Coming into the series, she scored only four runs across two innings she batted and didn’t pick a wicket in the two overs bowled across four T20Is. Oman’s Bhakti Shetty took at least two wickets in each of the first four T20I appearances. However, she went wicketless in the first T20I but is likely to make a comeback.

Expert Advice:

The first T20I witnessed Priyanka Mendonca concede 49 runs in her four overs and score just a run. This performance should not be considered for excluding her from the fantasy team. She scored 85 runs and claimed 4 wickets across the five T20Is played before this match. It is one of the reasons why we are backing her as a captain option.

Probable Winners:

The home team Oman Women are expected to bounce back strongly after a huge defeat.
