IND-W vs SA-W Dream11 Team Prediction
Goal-Keeper
Her cleansheet against Ireland sees Savita Punia once again line up for us today.
Defenders
The duo of Gurjit Kaur and Deep Ekka has been at the heart of India’s backline with the two moving in tandem to disrupt attacking plays.
Her versatile skill set meanwhile see us opt for Lisa-Marie Deetlefs from the South African setup.
Midfielders
With India’s defence not making for the most sturdy of defensive setups, Lilian du Plessis is more than capable of springing up with a goal come today.
She finds company in Kristen Paton owing to her ability to work the flanks with Robyn Johnson wrapping up the set of picks from the side. Navjot Kaur meanwhile is instilled in our unit from India owing to her ability to come up with a scorching shot.
Forwards
Rani Rampal assisted against Ireland whilst Navneet Kaur scored to see the one-two and Vandana Katariya complete the trio of Indian picks.
Captain And Vice-Captain
With one goal and an assist, Vandana is our captain while Kaur is the vice-captain.
IND-W vs SA-W Dream11 Team Prediction
Punia, Kaur, Ekka, Deetlefs, Navjot, Plessis, Paton, Robyn, Navneet, Rani, Vandana
