The Super League will be played in Ahmedabad from November 14.

Returning from a four-month layoff from the game due to a hamstring injury, Rodrigues had scored 58 off 41 balls against Delhi and 26 not out off 19 balls against Uttar Pradesh in a nine-over game.
She paced her knock well and got to her century in the last over,” Mumbai Women’s team head coach Ajay Kadam told TOI. She’s a team player,” Kadam said. MUMBAI : India women’s team batter Jemimah Rodrigues will lead Mumbai in the upcoming Super League stage of the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy. Rodrigues’ century took Mumbai to the Super League stage of the tournament. Interestingly, despite being the Delhi Capitals captain, Rodrigues wasn’t the Mumbai skipper in the league stage of the tournament, as she joined the team late. Mumbai were captained by Manali Dakshini. “Jemimah was fine with that. She has no issues with that.
Praising the impact of Rodrigues on the team, Kadam said, “Jemimah has definitely added a lot of energy to our dressing room. She has gained vast experience by now. Her presence matters a lot. The girls look up to her. She has lifted the team to a whole new level, given them confidence. She is a star.”
She joined the team after a few matches, but since then, has played her role very well.
