Expert’s Verdict (E-E-A-T Signature)
“In high-pressure semi-finals on slow Bangkok wickets, the game is won in the middle overs. I am backing Radha Yadav as captain because she thrives in these conditions. For a differential VC, look at Sathya Sandeepani; her ability to stifle runs could lead to frustrated wickets for the Indian top order.” — Senior Analyst, BattingFirst.com
