T20I Tri-Series Match 6: AUS-W vs ENG-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | AUS-W vs ENG-W Dream11 Today | Australia Women vs England Women Preview Dream11 | AUS-W vs ENG-W Dream11 Prediction Today
The pre-World T20 Tri-Series has an excellent narrative to it.
Australia, current World Champions and favourites to take out the World T20, are at risk of missing out on the Tri-Series Final after losing to India on Saturday. So, they are in must-win mode ahead of the World T20, needing to win this game to qualify for Wednesday’s Final.
England are also not assured of an appearance in the Final. If they lose this game heavily enough, they will fall behind both India and Australia on NRR. So, while England are favoured to qualify, there is also that element of pressure for them to play well and have a shot at winning the trophy.
This all serves as excellent preparation for the World T20. Who will win?
Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
- Cometh the hour, cometh Alyssa Healy? Australia’s star keeper-batswoman has had a very quiet series: 9, 1 and 0. Her opposite number, Amy Jones, hasn’t fared much better: 1, 10 and 1.
- Meg Lanning was out for 1 vs England earlier this Tri-Series. However, her overall record against them is incredible: 911 runs, avg. 43.38, SR: 129.04.
- Ashleigh Gardner is coming off a superb 93 vs India. Can she put in another big effort, with Australia then finishing off better?
- Heather Knight was Player of the Match in the game vs Australia earlier this series: 78 (46).
- Beth Mooney vs England: 369 runs, avg. 46.13, SR: 139.25. Also, Mooney was the only top order player to step up last meeting vs England (65 off 45 balls).
- Can Danielle Wyatt (471 runs vs AUS at 18) and Tammy Beaumont (key finisher role) make significant contributions?
- Natalie Sciver has had an impressive series. When she didn’t score big with the bat, she took 1/34 and 3/23 with the ball. When she went wicketless (last game), she scored a match-winning 50.
- Her main all-round rival, Ellyse Perry, has a huge role to play in this one. Perry has 407 runs vs England at 37, plus the most wickets of any player in Australia-England T20Is (29). Perry took 1/9 in four overs in the last meeting.
- Megan Schutt is next on the list with 25 wickets.
- Katherine Brunt has been at her determined best. She has four wickets this series, but would want to bounce back vs Australia after taking 0/47 last game against them. She has 20 wickets overall vs Australia in 21 games.
- Sophie Ecclestone is a consistent wicket-taker for England. Also, Anya Shrubsole is coming off three wickets vs India.
- Sarah Glenn took 3/28 vs Australia earlier this series. Also, Tayla Vlaeminck took 3/13 vs India a few days ago. Both were left out of the most recent games for their respective teams. If they play here, they could be key.

Junction Oval Pitch Report and Conditions
A humid and slightly hazy day is forecast for Melbourne. No rain is expected.
The Junction Oval pitch has played well in the two games so far this series; India chased down 170+ against Australia on Saturday. It should be another pretty good surface for batting.
