Australia Women are favorites to win
India Women will take on Australia Women at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai in the second WT20I of the series. This match gets underway at 10:30 local time on Sunday, 7th January, 2024.
As expected, the first game of the series on this pitch saw a par score around 135-145 and we anticipate something similar again for this match. The surface could quicken up as the game progresses.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s side will have been delighted to win the opening game of the WT20I series by 9 wickets as not only does it put them in an excellent position ahead of this match but it also gives them a huge confidence boost after losing the WODIs 3-0. We expect no debuts for the team in this game.
The India Women openers were in fine form on Friday and put on 137 for the first wicket. It will be a hard job to replicate that again in this WT20I but even if they are unable to do so, the hosts still have plenty of runs in a powerful middle order.
Titas Sadhu came on as first change in the opening WT20I but she could well open the bowling in place of Pooja Vastrakar in this match. Vastrakar was expensive and the only bowler to go wicketless on Friday and her spot in the side will be under threat.
India Women have won three of their last five matches in this format and are targeting their third successive victory.

Australia Women’s total of 141 all out seemed not too bad when they came off at the end of the first innings on Friday but it turned out that their bowlers were unable to defend it. A few players were not at their best but no changes are expected for this match.
Alyssa Healy will need more players to contribute with the bat in this game after five players made a combined 2 runs in the opener! Phoebe Litchfield continued her strong form and could move up the order for this match with Tahlia McGrath most likely to drop down a place or two.
Although the Australia Women’s bowling attack dismissed only one batter on Friday, there is so much experience in the team that we expect the same group to perform better. Despite going wicketless, Ashleigh Gardner and Megan Schutt both kept the runs down.
Australia Women have become an inconsistent WT20I side with defeats against England Women, West Indies Women and now India Women over their last five games.

After India Women thrashed Australia Women at this venue on Friday, we expect the visitors to come back with a stronger performance with both bat and ball in this game. Australia Women have not lost back to back WT20I games to India Women since 2016 and we expect them to protect that record. Our prediction is for a tight contest but with Australia Women getting the win.
