indw vs ausw Match Prediction & Analysis

Australia has been the team of the tournament so far with 4 wins in 4 matches in a dominating fashion. They have been in a supreme form in ODIs for the last 4-5 years such that their every loss can be called as an upset. They will look to continue their winning streak in this match too and move closer to qualification. But India has been the team that has ended Australia`s streaks in the past both in World Cup and ODIs. They are having a rollercoaster ride in the World cup so far and a win against the mighty Aussies will do a world of good for them.

India stumbled to just 136 runs against England in their last game. Smriti Mandana (216 runs) and Harmanpret Kaur (199 runs) have led their batting attack while pooja Vastrakar and Sneh Rana came up with crucial fifties in lower order. Their top order of Mithali Raj, Deepti Sharma, and Yastika Bhatia must come up big contributions with the bat in this crucial match. Shefali Verma might get a nod ahead of Yastika Bhatia in this match.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Auckland has a dark and gloomy weather on match day, and we might experience some interruptions from rain in this match. DLS equation may come into consideration if overs are lost due to interruptions.

Venue Details

Eden Park is expected to have little grass on the track providing lateral movement of the pitch. Pacers will enjoy bowling with the new ball while batters will enjoy the small size and quick outfield here. We expect the average scores to be around 260-280 runs at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

Both captains might opt to bowl first at this venue as the pitch is untested so far and the early moisture might assist the pacers with the new ball. Chasing is the best option here as the dimensions of ground are very small and no target can be safe.
