Women's Senior One Day Trophy 2021, Railways Women vs Karnataka Women: Probable XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast and pitch report

Mithali Raj leads Railways side in the Women's Senior One Day Trophy

It’s the final of the Women’s Senior One Day Trophy. The defending champions Railways will lock horns with Karnataka at Bengaluru's M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in what promises to be a cracking contest.

The Railways started their title defense brilliantly by topping Elite Group B with five wins in five games. They qualified for the quarter-finals and faced Odisha, who they beat comprehensively to enter the semi-finals. Railways were then up against Bengal in the first semi-final.

Rain played a spoilsport in the semi-final as not a single ball was bowled. Railways qualified for the final thanks to their superior run-rate over Bengal. The defending champions have had a dream run in the competition so far and will be looking to defend their title on Saturday.

Karnataka Women, on the other hand, have also been sensational in this year’s Senior One Day Trophy. They remained unbeaten in the group stages and topped Elite Group E with 20 points. They faced Madhya Pradesh in the fourth quarter-final. Everyone fired in unison and helped the team qualify for the semi-final.

Just as the first semi-final was washed out, no play was possible in the second semi-final between Karnataka and Punjab. Karnataka Women progressed to the final of the competition because they had a better run-rate than Punjab. They will be hoping to be at their best when they face the Railways in the final on Saturday.
