IND-W vs AUS-W 2nd Match Preview and Team Analysis

India Women

After posting 281 in the first WODI, India Women failed to defend the total due to sloppy fielding and inconsistent bowling. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal gave a record 117-run opening stand, while Harleen Deol’s quick 50 boosted the middle order. However, regular wickets derailed their momentum. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues must step up, while Richa Ghosh’s finishing touch will be crucial.

Bowling remains a concern. Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma are key in the spin department, while Kranti Gaud impressed with early breakthroughs. Mustafizur-like death bowling will be expected from Radha Yadav and Rana to keep Australia in check.

Key Players: Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Deepti Sharma

Predicted XI (IND-W): Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shree Charani, Richa Ghosh (wk), Kranti Gaud, Radha Yadav, Sneh Rana
