AUSW vs IND-W Match Prediction & Analysis

The visitors made history winning the T20I series, but the hosts bounced back winning two one-day internationals in a row to seal the series. A win here for Australia will complete a clean sweep.

Despite an improved batting performance, the women in blue were on the losing end once again. Skipper Alyssa Healey and Beth Mooney were the top performers in the opening game, leading the hosts to a 6-wicket win while Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll stepped up with match-winning knocks in the second ODI.

For India Women, Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana, and Pratika Rawal are the key performers who have scored at least a fifty in the series so far. However, with none of them converting their starts into something bigger, the visitors find themselves playing catch-up in every outing.

The venue offers a batting-friendly wicket, and the team winning the toss should opt to chase a target. India Women, particularly after failing to set a competitive total in two games, should consider bowling first if they win the toss in this match.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Australia Women Preview

Australia Women chased down a 252-run target in the last match quite comfortably. Georgia Voll’s hundred at number 3, along with opening batter Phoebe Litchfield’s 80-run knock, were the highlight performances in the game.

The two built a 119-run partnership for the second wicket after Healey was back in the pavilion early in the game. Beth Mooney, the senior player and former skipper, came in at number 4 and helped the Aussies continue the momentum set by the Voll and Litchfield. Mooney will be high in the running to be the top batter for Australia at 2.50 odds. The experienced campaigner is in great touch and will give it her best to carry the momentum from the last match.

The top 4 batters in this batting order are in sublime form and will be key to the hosts' success. Annabel Sutherland is also a reliable player in the lower middle order and can come in handy in the run chase. She was unbeaten on 48 off 44 balls in the opening match while chasing a smaller target.

There is a great variety in the bowling attack. The captain used 7 bowling options in the first ODI and 6 bowlers in the second. Megan Schutt has been very economical in both outings so far. 

While Ashleigh Gardner has been the top wicket-taker for the Aussies, Alana King has also bowled tight economies while finding crucial breakthroughs.

Interesting Stats

Austarlia Women have struck 50+ run partnerships in the top order in both matches

Opening batter Phoebe Litchfield has scored 112 runs at a strike rate of 119 in two innings.

Australia Women Predicted Playing XI:

Alyssa Healy (c), Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney (wk), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Nicola Carey, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown

Australia Women Actual Playing XI:

Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Nicola Carey, Alana King, Annabel Sutherland, Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Lucy Hamilton

India Women Preview

Can India salvage what’s remained of the series? While the game may be a dead rubber, the visitors would still push themselves to avoid a complete whitewash in the one-day series.

The world champions haven’t been in their best form in the one-day format on this tour. There were a few good knocks from key batters like the openers Pratika Rawal and Smriti Mandhana, while the captain has delivered a fifty in both her innings so far. Mandhana is a value bet to be the top team batter at 2.00 odds, for she’s known to bounce back strongly, and has delivered such performances quite often in the past.

Lack of runs from their star batter Jemimah Rodrigues is a major concern for India Women. Shafali Verma also failed to get going in the opening game and was replaced by Amanjot Kaur in the second ODI. Kaur, coming in at number 6, managed to just score 13 off 18 balls.

Her dismissal was a crucial one for the visitors. Once half of the side was back in the hut, there wasn’t a lot expected from the tail, and India could score another 121 runs in the remaining 19.5 Overs. That is also good news for India since their lower order did not fold in cheaply and put up a fight.

Nevertheless, one of the top three batters must step up and deliver a bigger knock to lead India’s comeback in the final ODI. The visitors need strong partnerships from the top 5 batters to set the stage for a big total.

India have also struggled with the ball in the one-day series. They need their frontline bowlers to find early wickets to put them on top. If they struggle to find wickets early on, the Aussies will put them out of the contest soon. Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, and Kranti Gaud are the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack.

Interesting Stats

Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal built a 78-run partnership for the first wicket in the last game.

India lost 4 wickets for 103 runs in the last game, while being reduced to 5 for 103 in the opening match.

India Women Predicted Playing XI:

Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Kashvee Gautam, Kranti Gaud, Vaishnavi Sharma, Shree Charani

India Women Actual Playing XI:

Kashvee Gautam, Renuka Singh, Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Sneh Rana, N Shree Charani, Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, Pratika Rawal

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be cloudy weather throughout the match with a high of 23 degrees Celsius. There isn’t a high chance of rain at the time of the match, and we don’t expect any weather interruptions during the game. However, the overcast conditions would help the swing-bowlers with the new ball.

AUSW vs IND-W Pitch Report

It is a batting-friendly wicket at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Australia Women chased down a 252-run target quite easily in their last outing. The average first innings score in the last 10 one-day matches played at this venue is 263 runs. Looking at how comfortably the Aussies chased down 252 runs here, we reckon the team batting first should aim for 275 or more runs to be in a competitive position.

Toss: To Bowl

Though runs on the board can also be a winning strategy on this ground, given the nature of the wicket, we reckon chasing should be on the captain’s mind after winning the toss in this game. Kaur and co. opted to bat first in both ODIs so far and failed miserably. Teams bowling first have won 4 of the last 5 one-day matches played here, which includes 1 ODI and 4 Women’s domestic one-day games. India Women have a clear reason to bowl first, while the hosts, we reckon, can dominate whether they bat or bowl first.
