- Amelia Kerr: In top form as an all-rounder. While she batted higher up the order for Wellington, it is unlikely that she will do the same for New Zealand.
- Sophie Devine: The most lethal all-rounders in T20 cricket. She was the POTM in the finals of Super Smash.
- Lea Tahuhu: Pinch-hitter and new ball value. Tahuhu has emerged as a power-hitter in the last few years. She can clear the ropes with ease. Her slingy action generates late movement and that outfoxes several batters.
- Amy Satterthwaite: All-round value with a century recently in the Super Smash. In the absence of Kasperek, Satterthwaite will have her role increased as an off-spinner alongside Frances Mackay. Not to forget, India will potentially have three LHBs in Smriti Mandhana, Yastika Bhatia, & Deepti Sharma in their batting order. Satterthwaite is also used as a death-bowler and that is where the probability of getting wickets increases.
- Deepti Sharma: All-round value. She is India’s lead spinner and will bowls 4 overs at crucial times and ends up picking 1-2 wickets. She will have a major role to play with the bat as well with Amelia Kerr in the opposition ranks. Those sweep shots will come out!
- Smriti Mandhana: India’s key batter. No matter where Smriti goes, she scores runs. She will have a major challenge in Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu, but if she can see off the initial phase, then she should be able to score a decent number of runs.
- Richa Ghosh: Preferred keeper keeping the credits in mind. Also, she has the ability to start with the 6th gear from Ball 1. Many other batters require to accelerate from gears 1-5 to reach the 6th gear, but Richa doesn’t.
- Shafali Verma: X-factor player. She’ll be challenged by Jess Kerr. But, you just cannot afford to leave her out. She has been practicing hard and she can be a game-changer within the powerplay itself.
- Simran Bahadur: Can play the same role that Kate Ebrahim played in the Super Smash and can easily pick up 2-3 wickets at the death with her stump-to-stump bowling.
- Jess Kerr: New ball value + handy lower-order hitter. She also played a game at this venue in the Super Smash and swung it sharply.
