AUSW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis
Although Australia won the opening game of the multi-format series with 67 balls remaining, it was far from a smooth journey over the finish line from the hosts who kept on losing wickets to give England a bit of hope before eventually sealing the win!
The hosts also had the advantage of winning the toss in the series opener and that will give England plenty of hope that just calling correctly or generating a little bit extra with bat or ball could be the difference between 4-0 or 2-2 (points).
TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Across their dominance of women’s cricket covering the last two decades, it has been in WODIs that they have been their strongest and Australia Women will travel to Melbourne confident of adding another two points to their tally in the multi-format series.
With the ball, it was Ashleigh Gardner who stood out on Sunday, taking 3/19 but there were also fine performances from Kim Garth (2/46), Annabel Sutherland (2/42) and Alana King (2/35). Darcie Brown also chipped in with a wicket but don’t be surprised if the experienced Megan Schutt strikes with the new ball this time around after taking 0/38 from seven overs in Sydney.
England Preview
There was plenty of bullish talk from the England Women squad ahead of the opening game of this multi-format series and although they were beaten there were plenty of positives, particularly with the ball, to take away from Sydney.
Unsurprisingly, left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone returned the best figures of the side and she is likely to be their most accurate and dangerous bowler once again in Melbourne. The question is, can the likes of Lauren Bell, Lauren Filer and Nat Sciver-Brunt back her up and tie the Australia Women batters down.
With the bat, captain Heather Knight hit her 4000th WODI run in England’s total of 204 all out but she will be looking at herself in the mirror, along with the likes of Danni Wyatt-Hodge and keeper-batter Amy Jones who all reached 30 but could not kick on in Sydney.
Weather Conditions
According to the forecast, the players may not even see a cloud in the sky in Melbourne on Tuesday. The temperature is expected to reach 28 degrees and will be above 22 from midday onwards.
AUSW vs ENGW Pitch Report
The Junction Oval always offers a little more for the spinners than many other Australian venues and we expect this to be the case on Tuesday. That said, whoever bats first will be looking to post a score of 260+ to be competitive.
Toss: To Bowl
The conditions are unlikely to change much across Tuesday’s game in Melbourne and it will be warm and sunny throughout. The pitch will remain true from start to finish so we predict that both sides will want to bowl first.
