TEAMS PREVIEW

Purulia Royals Women Preview

The Puruliya Royals are the expansion side of the Bengal Pro Women’s T20 League. They made a winning start to their campaign after a close victory in a rain-affected game against the defending champions, Kolkata Tigers. The Royals took inspiration from their men’s team, who defeated the defending champions, Howrah Warriors by 4 runs in the debut game. 

The Royals restricted the Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers to 131 runs in the first innings. The Royals were 89/2 when the game was halted due to rain. They needed 42 runs in the final six. Rain didn’t stop and the Royals won the game through the D/L method. 

Payel Vakhariya could be a player to watch out for. She has been a consistent performer in the domestic. We back her to score above 25 runs in the upcoming game.

Supriti Roy, Chandrima Biswas, Puja Bairagi, Radhika Kumari, Ekaa Roy Chowdhury (Wk), Piyali Roy, Nilanjana Barik, T. Roy, P. Vakharia, D Gujjar, D Nandi

Malda Smashers Women Preview

Malda Smashers gear up for the third edition of Bengal Women’s Pro T20 League. They will take on the Royals in the opening game. Last year, they had an impressive performance. Malda topped the table in the 2025 edition with five wins out of seven games. They made it into the finals of the league but lost to the defending champions in a rain-affected game. 

Malda bowled out the Kolkata Tigers on 104 runs. They struggled initially in the chase as they lost four wickets on 22 when rain stopped the game. Due to more wickets, they were behind the champions through the VJD method. Aruna Barman could be a player to watch out for. She bats in the top order and is pretty consistent in the league. We back her to score above 30 runs in the upcoming game. 

Malda Smashers Women Predicted Playing XI:

Sukanya Parida, Jeni Parveen, Aruna Barman, Srabani Pal, Mamata Kisku, Jhumia Khatun, Sushmita Paul, Riya Kumari Mahato, Hrishita Niladri Basu, Nandini Biswas

PR-W vs MS-W Pitch Report

The pitch at Jadhavpur University Ground looks great for batting. The surface gets slow in the middle overs. Due to the overcast conditions in Kolkata, we can expect an early help to the pacers. In the last five matches, the average first innings score is less than 130. Spin assistance will be a key factor during the middle overs. 

Score prediction: 

If Malda Women bat first - 140-150 runs 

If Puruliya Women bat first - 130-140 runs 

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five T20Is on this surface, chasing sides won the matches three times. Overcast conditions give a clear chace to the captain. It’s a surface where chasing sides can take a big advantage. Both teams have had better results while bowling first and they will look to bowl first in this fixture as well. 

Toss Prediction: Puruliya Women to win the coin toss.
