India women vs Australia women || Australian women tour of India t20
Australia Women lock horns with India Women one last time on this tour, with the T20I series on the line as we head to the decider at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. The hosts pulled off a historic win in the one-off test, while the Aussies came back hard and handed a whitewash to the Women in Blue in the ODI series. Both teams have played some exciting cricket throughout and will look to do more of the same. India Women, after taking an early lead in the T20I series, would have hoped to wrap things up, but that was not the case. After Alyssa Healy won the coin toss and opted to bowl first, it was a real struggle with the bat for the hosts. Thanks to contributions from the lower order, India Women had something to bowl at. In reply, Australia Women started steadily, and despite a bit of a stutter in the middle phase, they got over the line with an over to spare. The Indian batters failed in the last game, and they will need to improve in that aspect. Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana are reliable openers who registered the highest opening partnership for India against Australia in the series opener and will look to give them a good start again. Richa Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma make up a solid middle order for them, while Pooja Vastrakar can pack a punch down the order as well. Titas Sadhu was the star with the ball in the first game and partners with Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar to handle the pace attack, while Deepti Sharma has been a consistent performer with her accurate spin bowling. Australia Women. on the other hand, fought back like champions in the last game to level the series. Phoebe Litchfield has been a standout performer for them, while Ellyse Perry, who played her 300th international game for Australia in the second T20I, has also shown her class in both games. However, they will expect a bit more from Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, and Tahlia McGrath with the bat. Their bowling was much better, and that set up the game for them, with their pacers getting them breakthroughs at regular intervals while Georgia Wareham was at her usual best. Kim Garth and Annabel Sutherland will be the ones to watch out for and could make a difference again in this game. The stage is set for a grandstand finish to Australia's tour of India as the two teams look to clinch the series. Whose side are you on?
