AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: Australia Women vs India Women Match Preview

Australia Women are taking on India Women in the first Semi Final of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2023 at the Newlands in Cape Town.

Australia have had an amazing tournament so far, remaining unbeaten in the group stage and finished at the top of their group. They have sorted almost everything, showing no weakness in any aspect. Meg Lanning will be hoping her side can keep the momentum going and beat this strong Indian side to go through to another final.

On the other side, India Women finished second in their group with three wins in four games. They have looked a good side but have been very far from their absolute best. Harmanpreet Kaur will be hoping her side can come up with everything they have and beat the defending champions to seal another T20 World Cup final spot, in consecutive editions.

Considering the recent form of both the teams, the teams on paper Australia Women are expected to win this match against India Women. 

AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: Top Captaincy Picks

Beth Mooney: Beth Mooney is undoubtedly a top captaincy pick ahead of this match. The Australian opener has been the best player in the fixtures involving these two sides. She has 763 T20I runs at an average of 47.39 against India.  

Smriti Mandhana:  Smriti Mandhana caught form at the very right time in the tournament. After a quiet start, the Indian star opener finished the group stage with two back to back half centuries, including a match winning 87 in the last game against Ireland. She will be a great captaincy pick for this match. 

Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy is having a great tournament with the bat. In three games, she scored 146 runs at an average of 73. In addition, considering her records against India in T20 World Cup knockouts, it is advisable to keep her as one of the captaincy picks for this match. 

AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: Top Differential Picks

Harmanpreet Kaur: Harmanpreet Kaur will be a top differential pick for this match as she has not been selected by a high percentage of teams as of writing. She is yet to play a match winning knock in this tournament and considering her past records against Australia, she should come good in this match. 

Grace Harris: Grace Harris will be another top differential pick for this match. She has been a game changer for Australia down the order whenever they play the Women in Blue. She has been picked by only 15% of the teams as of writing.  

AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: Players to Avoid

Shafali Verma:  Shafali Verma has not been able to play to her potential in this World Cup. It is advisable to keep her out of your Dream11 ahead of this match.
