India Women:
The Indian team has had a mixed bag of a tournament as they have won three and lost three games. They have defeated some teams but have lost to some of the top teams in the tournament. Pooja Vastrakar has been the find of the season for India as she showcased her incredible all-around skill. Similarly, Sneh Rana has also had a stellar season as she has picked up 10 wickets. Other than these two players, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Jhulan Goswami and Rajeshwari Gayakwad have had a decent tournament and can be great picks for any Fantasy team.
