  • WK: Richa Ghosh

  • BAT: Smriti Mandhana, Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Tazmin Brits

  • AR: Deepti Sharma, Marizanne Kapp, Nadine de Klerk, Harmanpreet Kaur

  • BOW: Renuka Singh Thakur, Nonkululeko Mlaba

Captain (C): Smriti Mandhana (form + venue record)
Vice-Captain (VC): Laura Wolvaardt (alt: Deepti Sharma / Marizanne Kapp for balance)

Bench/Swap ideas (if lineups demand): P Rawal (IND BAT), S Rana (IND AR), A Khaka (SA BOW), C Tryon (SA AR) for high-variance upside.

Conditional Strategy & Final Tips

  • If IND-W bat first: Load top-order India bat (Mandhana, Rodrigues) + two Indian AR (Deepti/Harman). One of Renuka/K Goud for new-ball wickets.

  • If SA-W chase: Prioritize Wolvaardt, Kapp, de Klerk; include Mlaba for PP impact; consider Tryon as differential finisher.

  • Pitch angle: Take 2 spinners minimum (Deepti + Mlaba). Third spin option viable if teams field another front-line spinner.

  • Small Leagues (safer): Mandhana / Wolvaardt / Deepti as C/VC.

  • Grand Leagues: Try Kapp or Tryon as C for volatility-driven upside.
