IND-W vs AUS-W 3rd ODI Preview: Aussies on Fire
The Aussies have been unstoppable in this series. They took the first ODI with a solid five-wicket win and then went all guns blazing in the second, where they secured a staggering 122-run win.
Georgia Voll smashed her maiden century, scoring a classy 101, while Ellyse Perry lit up the scoreboard with a 105 off just 75 balls. Together, they tore into the Indian bowlers and powered Australia to a record 371/8—the highest total ever scored against India in an ODI.
The Aussies are on a roll and will be aiming for a clean sweep. Tahlia McGrath’s leadership has been spot-on, and her squad is in top form. With Voll and Perry in the mood and bowlers like Megan Schutt and Kim Garth breathing fire, the hosts will aim to effect a whitewash.
IND-W vs AUS-W 3rd ODI Preview: India Aiming To Salvage Some Pride
India’s bowlers had a rough day at the office. Saima Thakor picked up three wickets, but most of the attack was hammered all over the park.
The batters didn’t fare much better. Richa Ghosh showed some fight with a 54, but the rest of the lineup folded under pressure, leaving India all out for 249. It’s do-or-die for Harmanpreet Kaur and her team. Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and the skipper herself need to fire if India has any chance of putting up a fight.
The batters need to step up and post a big score, while the bowlers must find a way to contain Australia’s power-packed lineup in order to avoid a clean sweep.
IND-W vs AUS-W 3rd ODI Pitch Report: What To Expect From the WACA Pitch?
The WACA pitch in Perth is a track for pacers that offers pace, bounce, and early lateral movement. New-ball bowlers can rattle batters with bouncers and hard lengths. While spinners may find little assistance, batters who adjust to the bounce can score big. Captains winning the toss might opt to bowl first, as chasing teams have an edge here.
