Editor’s Pick(Women’s Cricket): India - Australia

By
The first semi finals of the women’s cricket world cup 2017 saw England beat South Africa in what could be described as a thriller. The hosts edged out the visitors by three wickets and established their berth in the finals. They are now one step away from winning the much-coveted world cup for the fourth time. They are truly the most experienced after Australia.
The second semi finals witnesses India take on Australia. India once made it to the finals of the world cup in 2005 only to lose to Australia by 98 runs. I am sure the teams remember this meet. India will want to try hard to overthrow Australia and meet the English in the finals at Lords’ on Sunday.
Let’s take a look at the venue. County Ground, Derby. This world cup has seen eight matches played at this venue out of which the team batting first has won seven times. The highest total recorded was 284, and lowest 74. The team that wins the toss will definitely want to bat first.
India faced New Zealand here last and NZ was all out for 79. India will feel at home in this ground, having played four matches. This is Australia’s first match here.
But Australia is a whole different ball game altogether. She is a side that has made a habit out of winning. India should not take this match lightly.
India seems to have quite a bit of backing. And why not? She has made it this far. Let’s take a look at our lineup on the app.


Batsmen
Mithali Raj
Smiti Mandhana
Punam Raut
Meg Lanning
Nicole Bolton
Bowlers
Ekta Bisht
Poonam Yadav
Kristen Beams
Wicket-Keeper
Beth Mooney
All-Rounder
Deepti Sharma
Ellyse Perry
If you want Jhulan Goswami on the team, you have to make a few changes because she costs 11. Meg Lanning’s injury is a cause for concern. You can swap here. Or add Harmanpreet Kaur.

Alternate lineup

 Batsmen
Punam Raut
Mithali Raj
Meg Lanning
Nicole Bolton
Bowlers
poonam Yadav
Megan Schutt
R Gayakwad
Wicket-Keepers
Alyssa Healy
Beth Mooney
All-Rounders
H Kaur
Ellyse Perry

Australia is truly a world champ. But they are most definitely not unbeatable. So far, India has won five out of seven group stage matches, while Australia, 6. India needs to excel in all departments to outshine Australia. It is a lot of mental game too now.


No matter what happens here on, the Indian Women's Cricket Team deserves a hero’s welcome when they return home. They have proven that they deserve it.

Blog Time: I won in Fantain 2.0. And I didn’t shell out a penny.

By
I won. This is a big deal for me. I have never won any money on any online competition or game ever. Until now. When I heard Fantain Fantasy Sports was coming up with a new version of the game - the paid version, I thought, “I have only managed to win a few coupons here and there. Wonder how much money will I have to pay?”

And I saw that they were issuing FanCash. Does that mean no money to be deposited at my end? That’s right. I applied the code that I saw on their FaceBook page and used it in my updated app. And voila. My credit went up by 25. I went through all the games that were showing up on my page. I did my research on the players and created various lineups. The process was just as simple as it was before. I submitted my lineup in various matches, playing both free and the paid pools.

I was eagerly waiting for my results. And I tell you, the wait is just as exciting. I had won every paid match that I played in. The beautiful words “Congratulations, you have won” in a nice gr…
