While Harmanpreet will certainly boost the struggling batting group, one player that missed out from the last game is Pooja Vastrakar. She only bowled an over against New Zealand but was left out due to a niggle. On her update, Mandhana stated that the final call on Vastrakar’s availability will be taken on the matchday. “For Pooja, Medical team are working and more assessments will be done and final call will be taken tomorrow,” said Mandhana.
