India lock horns with an undefeated Australian side in match number 18 of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022. This will be a massive game in the context of the qualification scenario for Team India as Australia sits pretty at the top of the points table being undefeated in their 4 games so far.
All Australia needs to do is win one of their remaining 3 games and secure their spot in the top 4. Their NRR is so high that even 3 losses from here would still see them through. Meanwhile, India is under immense pressure after losing to England in their last game after they were bundled out very cheaply despite giving a tough fight at the end.
India will have to ensure that they win two more games to secure a spot since their NRR is good after they defeated Pakistan and West Indies heavily. But, a loss against Australia could make things very tricky for India as there are 5 more teams in contention for the last 2 spots.
A new venue will bring a lot of challenges for both teams as they have no experience of playing at this venue. India might look to ring in some changes for this game.
