India Women are back to winning ways with two consecutive wins. They will take on the mighty Aussies in a must-win game. A loss here could potentially end India’s hopes for the semi-finals.
Australia have been phenomenal. They beat Pakistan in their last outing making it their 14th consecutive win in T20 World Cups. It is a huge ask for India Women to stop this Australian juggernaut.
The good news for India is their top 3 batters finding their rhythm ahead of this clash. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was exceptional at number 3 against Sri Lanka leading India to a big total.
This will be India’s first match at Sharjah in this tournament. It is not a high-scoring venue and even Australia struggled with the bat on this pitch.
India needs to win by more than 61 runs to go past Australia' NRR and if they lose by more than 17 runs then their net run rate goes below New Zealand. If India wins by more than 10 runs then New Zealand will have to win by less than 28 runs or lose their last game against Pakistan.
Can Indian bowlers put Australia under pressure? Or will Ashleigh Gardner and Megan Schutt get the better of Indian batting?

India are looking good after their recent win over Sri Lanka. Their match against Pakistan left much to desire, particularly from the batters. However, Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandana, and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur delivered impressive knocks against Sri Lanka in the last match, restoring faith in this Indian side.
Nevertheless, they will be under pressure. This will be a very tough challenge for the Indian batting lineup. A lot depends on the top 3 batters. Richa Ghosh and Jemimah Rodrigues haven’t looked very promising in the middle order.
Though they’ve got plenty of experience and have also played for T20 franchises in England and Australia, these conditions in Sharjah will be challenging to deliver a big finish.
India need to be tactical with their approach. They need Kaur and Mandana to play longer and bigger knocks. Jemimah Rodrigues should come to the crease much earlier and have some overs to settle down before shifting gears at the death.
In the bowling attack, Kaur will be expecting some brilliant performances from the in-form players. Arundhati Reddy is the rising star to watch out for in this side. Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh Thakur are the other reliable wicket-takers for India.

Australia have won 14 consecutive matches in T20 World Cups. That says everything you need to know about Australia Women. Their current bowling form makes them the strongest team in this tournament.
A lethal bowling attack led by Megan Schutt also features all-rounders like Ashleigh Gardner, Georgia Wareham, and Annabel Sutherland who have consistently delivered wickets for the side.
There is no dearth of wicket-takers in this squad. The great number of all-rounders in the Australian squad means there will be a good variety of bowlers for the skipper to choose from.
The batting lineup also becomes deep with so many all-rounders. Though the top-order has been in fine touch, delivering most of the runs, Australia can rely on the middle and lower middle order as well.
Beth Mooney, and Ellyse Perry are the biggest names in Women’s T20 cricket and they feature in the top 3 of this batting order. The middle order also features very promising batters like Ashleigh Gardner, Phoebe Litchfield, and Georgia Wareham.
There will always be someone or the other to step up and deliver a match-winning knock or partnership for Australia Women.

There is excessive heat in Sharjah and on the match day the temperatures would be around 35 degrees Celsius. It will be a sunny day with no signs of clouds or rain and the match is scheduled to be played in the hot afternoon.
Pitch Condition
BalancedBatting Conditions
Moderate ScoringPace Bowling
Pace BounceSpin Bowling
High TurnIt is a slower pitch with not much bounce on offer. Spinners will play a key role at this venue. Batters need to settle down before they can start playing the big shots. The average 1st innings score here in the last 10 T20s is 134 runs. Anything over 145-150 can be a competitive total on this pitch. Australia Women successfully defended 148 runs against NZ in their last outing here.
There is no clear advantage to either batting or bowling first on this ground. Teams batting first have won 5 of the last 10 T20s played at Sharjah. However, considering the bowling form of both teams and the pitch conditions here, batting first is a better choice. The skippers will back their bowlers to defend a total on this ground.
India may look in great touch after their recent win but it came against a not-so-strong opposition. Australia are the giant of T20 cricket and their bowlers are dominating every single opposition they come across. As such, an inconsistent and fragile Indian batting lineup does not stand a chance against them. Australia Women will start as favorites in our match prediction.
Australia Women to win!
