Asian Games 2023 Women’s Cricket, India vs Malaysia: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
India and Malaysia are all set to lock horns in the 1st Quarterfinal of the Asian Games 2023 Women’s Cricket. The Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field in Hangzhou will be hosting this clash on Thursday, September 21.
India will be captained by Smriti Mandhana in the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur, who is on a two-ban suspension after her outburst against the umpires following the ODI series in Bangladesh.
All-rounder Pooja Vastrakar, who was in the travelling reserves, has been roped in as the replacement for injured pacer, Anjali Sarvani.
India will depend heavily on the duo of Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues in the top-order. Titas Sadhu was a part of the U19 World Cup winning squad earlier this year and she is an exciting new prospect.
As far as Malaysia are concerned, they will be high on confidence after beating Hong Kong by 22 runs. But the task against tournament favorites India would not be easy by any means.
