The upcoming clash between Australia Women and India Women is set to be a crucial one, especially for India, as they still need to secure a semi-final spot after losing their opener against New Zealand. Australia, on the other hand, has been in imperious form, winning all three of their matches, and are poised to make it to the semi-finals with a win here.
Australia have been playing excellent cricket, winning their three games convincingly. They have a well-rounded squad with stars like Beth Mooney, Alyssa Healy, and Ellyse Perry leading the charge. They have been strong with both bat and ball, and their experience in high-pressure matches makes them a formidable side.
India comes into this match needing a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive. After losing to New Zealand in their opening game, they bounced back with wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, they must not only win but also manage their NRR (Net Run Rate) well to qualify for the knockout stage.
