The 10th match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played on October 8, 2024, at 7:30 PM at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, between Australia Women and New Zealand Women.
Match Preview
Australia has one of the most balanced squads in women’s cricket. With players like Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry, and Ashleigh Gardner at the helm, their batting and bowling lineups are loaded with match-winners. Megan Schutt and Georgia Wareham are anticipated to flourish in the bowling assault, while Perry’s versatility provides valuable depth.
The White Ferns will be keen to take on the defending champs. With seasoned players like Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr, New Zealand’s top order is capable of destroying any bowling line-up. But it’s on New Zealand bowlers, especially Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr, to strike early and disrupt Australia’s formidable batting lineup.
This match is the most important game for both teams, as they are looking to improve their standings in the group, so spectators can expect a high-stakes, exciting match. Australia, as the incumbent champions, are the apparent favorites in this match, but New Zealand boasts a powerful team capable of pulling off an upset.
