About Ananya

Ananya has written about international cricket for eight years, covering three ICC events from the press box before joining King Exchange. She looks after T20 World Cup, ODI and Test coverage and the women's game, from the WPL to the Women's T20 World Cup.

Her previews explain how tournament format changes the betting picture: what a Super 8 group means for net run rate, why knockout odds tighten, and how conditions in different host countries suit different attacks. She writes for readers who follow India closely but want the full field explained.
