AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis
It has been a familiar narrative across this multi-format series with Australia Women winning all four of the games (3x WODIs and 1x T20Is) and England Women unable to turn some positive positions into unassailable ones.
In the last WT20I, Australia Women looked in command throughout, not losing their first wicket until 114 runs were on the board and then adding another 15 runs from the final over. And as soon as they had dismissed both England Womenβs openers for ducks, the writing was very much on the wall.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
After injuries ruled out captain Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner from the opening WT20I, Georgia Voll and Grace Harris proved themselves to be decent enough understudies and both made contributions to the win in Sydney.
There is no guarantee that either Healy or Gardner will be seen again across this multi-format series but Australia Women are never afraid to back replacements and in Voll and Harris they have two very accomplished players.
England Preview
The knives have been out for this England Womenβs side after they gave up the opportunity of wrestling back the Womenβs Ashes by losing the last match. They do still have the opportunity to draw the series, if they can win each of the remaining WT20Is and the Womenβs Test.
But the problem for England Women is that the team they put out for the opening WT20I was their strongest available and even if there is a clamour for changes with one final throw of the dice, it will only weaken the side.
In reality, it is highly unlikely that both openers will make ducks again and that should give the squad plenty of confidence, not that Sophia Dunkley needs any more after she hit a brilliant 59 runs from 30 balls in Sydney! Furthermore, skipper Heather Knight hit 168 not out in a Womenβs Test here in 2022.
Weather Conditions
The game is likely to begin under floodlights with cloudy skies and a small chance of rain. The temperature will be at 24 degrees to kick things off but will drop to the high teens by the close.
AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report
This is not the fastest wicket in Australia and the batters often have to manoeuvre and work the ball to score runs as opposed to thrashing it to the fence. A total of 165 is likely to be plenty in the first innings.
Toss: To Bowl
When the last WT20I took place here, in January 2024, South Africa Women shocked the cricketing world by beating Australia Women by six wickets. It proved to be a fore-runner of the Womenβs T20 World Cup semi-final and so we predict that both sides will want to bowl first ahead of this game.
