T20 Tri-Series Final: AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 | Australia Women vs India Women Preview Dream11 | AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 Prediction Today

In a competitive Tri-Series where all three teams were a chance of reaching the final heading into the last few overs, we are down to two.

Each team won two games each, including one game against each other. India’s win over Australia on Saturday was quite the result, with the Indians mustering up the ability to chase 170+ after crawling to 103 and 123 in their previous two outings.

Now, they have the chance to achieve something quite special ahead of the World T20: Lift the trophy of a series involving Australia and England.

Australia have been far from their best, yet here they are. Alyssa Healy is probably the biggest proof of that, with the star keeper-batswoman well below her usual best. But, when it matters most, you can bet that this Australian side will fight their way to the end, and that is what will be expected of them here.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

• Smriti Mandhana, along with Shafali Verma, were key to India’s triumph over Australia.
• Mandhana has scored 35, 45 and 55 in her past three knocks, and averages 44.00 vs Australia (308 runs). Verma scored a whirlwind 49 (28) vs Australia.
• Harmanpreet Kaur has the most runs for India vs Australia (401). If she gets past 15 balls faced, watch out. It is when she hits her stride.
• Meg Lanning is next with 388, including 37 (22) in her last game vs India.
• Ashleigh Gardner was Player of the Match in India’s win over Australia. Her 93 (57) was a special knock.
• Beth Mooney has two half centuries to her name this series. Interestingly, though, they were both against England. Her scores against India read 6 and 16.
• Alyssa Healy has been strong with the wicket-keeping gloves, but that’s it. Her batting has been a struggle: 9, 1, 0 and 1. Will she fire in the Final?
• Jemimah Rodrigues is part of the crucial Indian top four. She has made three starts this series (26, 23, 30), but needs to go on.
• Ellyse Perry took Australia over the line in their first meeting vs India this series (4/13 and 49). She is the top wicket-taker in Australia-India T20Is with 20.
• Deepti Sharma has taken 1/18 and 2/27 vs Australia this series.
• However, it has been the left-arm spinners who have caused significant damage this series: Rajeshwari Gayakwad leads the series with eight wickets. Sophie Molineux was Player of the Match in Australia’s win last game vs England with a superb 3/19.
• Tayla Vlaeminck has been excellent. Her pace has been a game-changer, taking five wickets in two games.

Head-to-Head

• Matches 17, Australia 12, India 5.
• It is locked at 1-1 between the teams in this Tri-Series.

Junction Oval Pitch Report and Conditions

There has been a mix of good and bad batting at Junction Oval in the past three games. Australia and India both showed that it is usually a good surface with 170+ scores, before Australia and England struggled as the track slowed a little.

It should be a decent batting pitch in mostly sunny conditions. However, back the accurate spinners and pace of Tayla Vlaeminck to have a say.
