Pitch Report

A high-scoring game is on the cards with little help on offer for the bowlers. Although the pacers should get the ball swinging a bit in the early stages, the batters should enjoy the ball skidding on to the bat. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, with extra bounce playing a role. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 150-160 being a good total at the venue.

Today’s AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy is undoubtedly one of the best batters in the Australian team and rightly so. Her ability to score runs at a rapid pace is undeniable and given the form that she is in, Healy is a must-have in your AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

Smriti Mandhana: Smriti Mandhana comes into the game on the back of some stellar knocks in the ODIs and in the pink-ball Test, where she scored a hundred. Given the form that she is in and the experience she possesses, Mandhana is a good addition to your AU-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Tahlia McGrath: Tahlia McGrath has been the surprise package for Australia with a decent number of runs and wickets to her name. Like Mandhana and Healy, she too is in good form and should be one to watch out for in this game.

Bowler

Poonam Yadav: Star leg-spinner Poonam Yadav has a brilliant record against the Aussies, including splendid performances against Meg Lanning and co. in the previous ICC Women's T20 WC. Her ability to turn the ball and deceive batters should hold her in good stead ahead of the series.
