The 18th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played between India and Australia. The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on 13th October 2024. The match will start at 7:30 PM IST.
The Indian women’s team bounced back strongly after a big defeat against the White Ferns in their first game of the tournament. They defeated Pakistan women by 6 wickets and then Sri Lanka in the last game by 82 runs. They are in the 2nd position in Group A and they must win this match to keep their hopes alive for qualifying into the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, the Australian women’s team have played like the defending champions winning all the three games they’ve played till now. They have insane depth in their squad and they’re the top contenders to win the Women’s T20 title once again.
Skipper Alyssa Healy and speedster Tyla Valeminck got injured in the last game and both will miss this game and possibly the tournament depending on the seriousness of their injury. Ellyse Perry is expected to lead the side in Healy’s absence.
Australia Women: Beth Mooney (wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry (c), Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Sophie Molineux, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown/Kim Garth
