India Women, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, have one of the strongest batting lineups in the tournament. Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, and Yastika Bhatia provide depth and firepower throughout the batting order.

India’s all-round strength comes from Deepti Sharma, Harmanpreet Kaur, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, and Nandani Sharma. Their versatility gives India excellent balance in all departments.

The Indian bowling attack includes Renuka Singh, Arundhati Reddy, Radha Yadav, Shree Charani, Kranti Gaud, and Deepti Sharma. They have a good mix of pace and spin capable of challenging any batting lineup.

The Emirates Old Trafford pitch generally offers balanced conditions. Batters can score freely once settled, while seamers often get movement with the new ball. A score around 145-160 could be competitive.
