The Indian women’s cricket team will play Australia in a crucial final group-stage match on Sunday, October 13, in Sharjah. After a tough start, including a hefty defeat to New Zealand, India bounced back by securing consecutive victories over Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
The women in blue need to secure a win and aim for a significant victory margin to ensure that any wins by New Zealand in their upcoming matches won’t jeopardise India’s chances of advancing.
Meanwhile, Australia is expected to have already secured a semi-final berth, barring any surprises from Pakistan, and will aim to finish the group stage undefeated with a 4-0 record against India.

The Sharjah pitch will provide an intriguing setting for this contest. The surface has been historically dry, particularly favouring for spinners and slow bowlers. Batters must be cautious as the ball tends to move early on. Scoring could become progressively challenging. A total of 125 to 130 may very well be competitive if the bowlers use the conditions to their advantage.
Fortunately, the weather forecast is clear, though the dry air’s effect might test the players’ stamina even in a night game.

These two teams are the most highlighted ones in the tournament. Therefore, this match is going to be a perfect set-up for betting. Although India is riding high on confidence after a resounding 82-run triumph over Sri Lanka in their last match, Australia remains the likely favourite. The current form and a dominating history give Aussies an upper hand in the game. However, you cannot ignore the caliber of the Indian team completely. Thus, it is going to be an interesting game.
