Australia Women vs India Women 5th T20 Match Prediction
Australia Women can set up a guaranteed final with England if they beat India in the fifth match of their T20 Tri Series in which all three teams are gearing up for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The match takes place at St Kilda’s CitiPower Centre on February 8 and the live action starts at 12:10 local time.
Both teams have won once so far, with Australia’s win coming against India when they last met – Ellyse Perry leading the way with bat and ball as they chased 104 in a low-scoring four-wicket victory. They had previously lost in a super over after a tie with England.
India, meanwhile, will be eliminated if they lose this match. They started with a win against England in Canberra, but that low-scoring defeat to Australia was followed by another loss by four wickets last time out to England.

Toss Prediction
Australia have won the toss in each of their two matches so far and elected to field first, so India may prefer to put the hosts in to bat first.
Weather Report
St Kilda will be warm, clear and dry but there could be a fair bit of wind around in the only disruption to an otherwise ideal cricketing day.
Pitch Condition
The CitiPower Centre looked a good batting wicket in the WBBL but the first match of this series here took place on a lifeless pitch.

AUS Women Team News & Playing 11
AUSW Team News
Captain Meg Lanning missed out with a back injury last time out, the recovery for which has included being invited by a stranger to use their back-garden swimming pool. Australia are taking no risks with Lanning’s fitness, but she could return this time. Sophie Molineux and Erin Burns are yet to feature.
AUSW Key Players
Ellyse Perry: The superstar all-rounder was at her very best last time out, taking 4-13 to follow up her economical 1-9 against England, and then hitting 49 to lead the successful chase.
Beth Mooney: Continued the form she showed at the WBBL when she hit 65 in the opening game of this series in the match against England.
Alyssa Healy: The wicket-keeper and opening batsmen has not made an impact on this tournament yet but her 130.11 strike rate in T20i cricket shows the damage she can inflict at the top of the order.
AUSW Team Form
Australia opened with a super-over defeat to England. Beth Mooney’s 65 led a chase of 157 to win, but some late hitting could only lift them to 156/8 and they fell short in the one-over shoot-out. Next up, however, Ellyse Perry (4-13) and Tayla Vlaeminck (3-13) helped limit India to just 103/9 and the hosts – led by Perry’s patient 49 – chased it down in a four-wicket win.

INDW Team News
This could be India’s last chance to give the likes of Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh, Poonam Yadav and Nuzhat Parween a match in this series. The decision they have to make is whether to stick with a consistent team to try and get back some momentum and allow their top playets to find form ahead of the World Cup, or rotate their options.
INDW Key Players
Smriti Mandhana: Top-scored in each of the last two matches, despite India’s defeats, to at least show she is getting back on track with her own batting form.
Rajeshwari Gayakwad: Made herself a key part of the bowling attack in this series with some excellent wicket-taking form, taking 2-19, 2-18 and 3-23 in the three matches so far.
Deepti Sharma: A rare wicketless game for the all-rounder last time out, but the 22-year-old has 45 wickets in T20i cricket and has been in excellent form in the past year.
INDW Team Form
India have not matched their previous T20i form so far, despite beating England in the opening game of this Tri Series. Rajeshwari Gayakwad took 2-19 to limit England to 147/7 and Harmanpreet Kaur guided India to a five-wicket win with the bat.
Since then, however, they posted just 103/9 as they lost to Australia by four wickets and then their 123/6 was below par on a slow wicket last time out too – Gayakwad’s 3-23 not enough to prevent another four-wicket defeat.
