Match Preview
The Indian women’s team are set to begin their Asian Games 2023 campaign on September 21, Thursday. The Women in Blue will lock horns with Malaysia Women in their season opener during the 1st Quarter-final of the continental showpiece. While Malaysia are coming on the back of a win over Hong Kong, India are one of the four nations, including Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh that got direct entry to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
Toss Prediction
India-W and Malaysia-W don’t have much of a cricketing history, and the nations have only come together for two matches in the past. In those matches, both the respective captains won one toss each. If we talk about the forthcoming match, Malaysia are likely to win the toss as they got unlucky in their season opener against Hong Kong.
Win Possibility
Cricket is making its return after five years in the continental showpiece, after being excluded after 2018 in Jakarta. As mentioned, India-W and Malaysia-W have played two matches in the past, where the Women in Blue came on top. If we talk about the present squads, India will play under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana and have the presence of names like U-19 World Cup stars Titas Sadhu and Minnu Mani.
On the other hand, Malaysia are being led by Winifred Duraisingam, and their lack of experience will be a barrier for them. Considering past records, squads and performance over the years, India are likely to emerge victorious in the upcoming game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The venue for the upcoming game, ZJUT Cricket Field, Hangzhou have hosted a total of 10 T20 matches. If we have a look at the records from past games, 118.6 happens to be the average first inning score. Hence, we can expect the first inning score of the forthcoming game to be between 110-120, whereas the powerplay score is likely to hover around 40-45.
