India Women

Indian Women trounced their guests with nine wickets and 14 balls to spare on January 5 to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. Star openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma bludgeoned dazzling match-winning half-centuries after young pacer Titas Sadhu had dismantled the Australian batting line-up with astonishing figures of 4-17.

India’s high-flying run was soon dented in the subsequent T20I, which eventually brought the series to levelling terms.

Australia Women

After suffering a humiliating nine-wicket loss to India, Australia Women bounced back with a six-wicket win against the hosts a couple of days later at the same Navi Mumbai venue. Ellyse Perry, playing in her 300th international for Australia, unfurled a run-chase masterclass for her side after Annabel Sutherland, Kim Garth and Georgia Wareham’s collective bowling brilliance.

Australia’s win in the second T20I also enforced a decider on January 9, as world champions look to finish their tour on a high by justifying their world champions tag.

IND-W vs AUS-W 2024 3rd T20I: DY Patil Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium provides considerable assistance to batters, with something on offer for the seamers with the new-ball upfront. Spinners might get some turn and bounce during the middle overs, but overall, batters can go big upon settling in at the crease. Considering the recent results at the venue, coupled with dew factor, captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first.
