Australia vs India Women Predictions

Australia have won all four of their T20 World Cup match by large margins and look invincible. India have won three of their four matches, losing against England, who finished top of their group.

Australia’s Alyssa Healy (146 runs) is 3rd on the World Cup runs list
Australia’s Beth Mooney has scored 56* & 20 in her last 2 innings
India’s Smriti Mandhana has scored 52 and 87 in her last 2 innings
India’s Richa Ghosh has scored 91*, 31*, 44* & 47* in her last 5 innings

Head-to-Head

Australia have won four of the last five matches against India, which were all played in December last year. The fifth match ended in a tie, India securing the win after clinching the one-over eliminator.

Australia Women Form

After winning their first three games of the tournament, Australia finished their group stages with a six-wicket win over South Africa.

The Aussies restricted the tournament hosts to 124/6 off their 20 overs. Georgia Wareham (2/18) was the pick of the bowlers.

South Africa had Australia struggling at 40/3 after seven overs before a 61-run partnership between Ashleigh Gardner (28*) and Tahlia McGrath (57) took Australia to the brink of a six-wicket win with 21 balls to spare.

Australia Women Team News

Australia have not reported any injuries and should field a full-strength squad.

India Women Form

After winning their opening two World Cup matches, India tasted defeat against England before bouncing back with a win in their final group match, against Ireland.

Shafali Verma (24) and Smriti Mandhana (87) got the innings off to a good start, with Jemimah Rodrigues (19) adding quick runs at the end. India ended on 155/6 off 20 overs.

Ireland reached 54/2 off 8.2 overs when the rain came down. India won by five runs on the DLS method.

India Team News

India will be hoping that their powerful batting line-up fires in the semi-final, and Harmanpreet Kaur in particular.

Verdict

Australia Women v India Women

I am backing Australia to win. I am also backing Alyssa Healy to top score for the Aussies. Smriti Mandhana is a good bet to top score for India.

Australia Women Win
