DC Women in deep trouble

DC Women would be aiming to get the score around 120 runs which would give the team some sort of chance to defend the match. The pitch doesn’t seem to be a belter where MI Women would have to play out the power-play overs carefully as a couple of wickets can change the complexion of the match.

MI Women would sense that they can restrict DC Women under 100 runs as DC Women don’t have a recognized batter present in the side where all the eyes would be on Jess Jonassen to play a breezy knock for the team in these tough times. MI Women bowlers have hunted in a pack where they haven’t allowed the batters to get their eye in.
