AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis
Although the last Womenβs Ashes series saw England Women come back from a six point deficit to share the trophy, it currently looks highly unlikely that the same will play out in this edition. Firstly, the last series was in England, where the conditions were very different but also Australia Women are an even tougher side at home!
That said, it is often believed that the shorter formats provide more of an opportunity for a weaker side as there is not as much time for the stronger team to show their dominance.Β
England Women will look at this game as an opportunity to re-set and get back into the series whereas Australia Women will arrive at the SCG with plans to take an 8-0 points lead.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Australia Women are a dominant side irrespective of the format and that was what made their Womenβs T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa Women all the more surprising in October last month.
They were also not at their best with the bat in the opening two WODIs of this series, losing six wickets in the first and being bowled out for 180 in the second. The hosts were also in trouble at 59/4 midway through the 15th over of the third WODI before Ashleigh Gardnerβs century.
But the bad news for England Women is that Australiaβs Womenβs batting is improving while their bowling continues to be of the highest order. The hosts will arrive at the SCG with plenty of confidence throughout their side
England Preview
It will be tough for England Women to turn around the six points deficit in this Womenβs Ashes series, particularly as the Australia Women are the home side and playing in front of their fans.
After a disappointing WODI series, Heather Knight will be keen to stress the positives for her team ahead of this WT20I. The two main ones are that England Women finally saw a batter go to a half-century on Friday when opener Tammy Beaumont hit 54 and she was followed by Nat Sciver-Brunt who hit 61. Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Amy Jones will also come into this WT20I in good form.
Weather Conditions
According to the forecast, this will be a warm and clear evening in Sydney. The start of the game will begin under sunny skies before dusk falls and the temperature will be over 20 degrees throughout.
AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report
The SCG is one of the oldest and most iconic stadiums in Australia and could well bring out the best from both sides in this game. There will be some turn for the spinners and batters never feel totally comfortable at a venue where ball often is in charge.
Toss: To Bat
Only three WT20Is have been played at the SCG and the last two were both won by the team batting first. With Australia Women also winning the last two WODIs when batting first, we predict that both captains will be looking to bat first in this match.
