AU-W vs EN-W Dream11 Prediction [Source: @CricketAus, @englandcricket/x]
Australia Women (AU-W) will host the visiting England Women (EN-W) in the second ODI of their 2024-25 Women’s Ashes at the Junction Oval in Melbourne on Tuesday, January 14 from 4:35 AM IST onwards. Australia won the first ODI at the North Sydney Oval to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.
AU-W vs EN-W 2nd ODI Preview
The Australian women’s cricket team is currently on a 10-match winning streak in ODIs, which includes 3-0 sweeps over India and Bangladesh and a 2-0 sweep over New Zealand. Moreover, the ODI world champions have won 18 and lost just one of their last 19 completed fixtures. Leading 1-0 in the three-match ODI series against England in the Ashes, Australia will once again rely on captain Alyssa Healy and prolific all-rounders Annabel Sutherland and Ashleigh Gardner to come up clutch in the impending second game.
Gardner and fellow spinner Alana King will also be aiming to sustain their high-volume wicket-taking spree, considering both cricketers have emerged as two of Australia’s leading wicket-takers off late.
The England women’s cricket team recorded a 2-1 series win over Ireland in Belfast back in September last year. Thereafter, they also registered an emphatic 2-1 win against South Africa at the latter’s home ground. As it turned out, the Englishwomen had their high-flying campaign halted by Australia in a low-scoring Sydney thriller in the opening match of the 2024-25 Ashes series a couple of days ago.
Captain Heather Knight and Danni Wyatt-Hodge demonstrated remarkable resilience with the bat on a tough North Sydney Oval surface, while bowlers Lauren Bell and Sophie Ecclestone bowled some tight wicket-taking spells in the game.
