Queens Women clash against Diamonds Women in the third match of the Pondicherry Women's T10 2022 at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground on Friday, June 10.
Queens Women did not have the ideal start as they lost their opening game against Angels Women. Despite an impressive unbeaten 43 from Abhilasha Patil, they could only manage to get to 89/2 from their ten overs after batting first.
Angels Women comfortably scaled the target down, knocking the runs off in 9.1 overs with seven wickets to spare. It was a lackluster performance from Queens Women with both bat and ball. They will be keen to redeem themselves.
Diamonds Women, on the other hand, started with a comprehensive nine-wicket victory against Princess Women. They managed to restrict Princess Women to just 74/6 before their batters made light work of the chase.
Poonam Khemnar remained unbeaten on 45 from just 22 deliveries as they romped home in just 7.5 overs to complete a comfortable run-chase. Diamond Women will look to make it consecutive wins in this clash.

Pitch Report
The pitch at this venue is a balanced one in nature. Both batters and bowlers will be aided off the surface. Batters need to spend time in the middle before they can play their strokes.
Both pacers and spinners will have a key role to play with the ball. Any total of around the 100-mark should be a challenging one.
