On the other hand, the hosts have also performed well with the bat but they lacked in bowling which is a major concern for them ahead of second ODI.

IND W vs AUS W TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
Batting first India faced a lack of stability in their innings with wickets tumbling at regular intervals. Most of the batters got scintillating starts but they failed to convert them into big scores. However, Rodrigues’s gleaming 82 & Vastrakar’s unbeaten 62 helped India to post their highest ODI total against Australia. India missed the services of Mandhana due to illness & there is no update as to when she will be back for the next fixture.
Harmanpreet needs to step up & lead the attack from the forefront. She enjoys a blistering record against Australia in this format & we expect a stellar knock from her in the second ODI. In the bowling order, the bowlers need to up the socks & scalp early wickets. In the last fixture, Dew played in favor of the Aussies as the Indians found it difficult to scalp early wickets. Here Thakur Singh & Pooja Vastrakar will aim to make early inroads & sclap some crucial wickets with a new ball. This is because if India bowls second the spinners might not prove effective. After all, dew comes in to play the spoilsport.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Deepti Sharma, Yastika Bhatia, Sneh Rana, Amanjot Kaur. Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh (wk), Pooja Vastrakar, Renuka Thakur, Saika Ishaque
Australia Preview
Aussies successful chase against India in the opening fixture in Mumbai was a result of stellar fifties from Ellyse Perry (75 off 72), Tahlia McGrath (68* off 55), and Phoebe Litchfield (78 off 89). Their outstanding knocks guided Australia towards the second-highest successful chase in Women’s ODI, securing an impressive six-wicket win. Chasing a challenging target of 283 runs on a favorable batting surface at the Wankhede Stadium, Australia chased the target with 21 balls to spare.
Australia’s batting order is too strong. They have Perry, McGrath, and Litchfield & they don’t have to worry much about the other things. Then there is Beth Mooney (371 runs from the last 10 games at an average of 74.2 and a strike rate of 90) as well, who will be eager to make an impression. Ashleigh Gardner & georgia Wareham were the key wicket-takers for Australia in their last game. They went for runs when the wicket became a little easy to bat but were competent enough to pull back the game in their favor.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Phoebe Litchfield, Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown
IND W vs AUS W Pitch & Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is favorable for batters. In winter it becomes better as the game progresses ahead and Dew can make things easier for batters as the game progresses ahead. Seam bowlers will get some movement off the pitch when the ball is new but spinners could struggle when the dew comes in. The weather will be warm during the day & pleasant during the evening.
The venue is great for batters & a total of around 280-290 could be competitive here. We can expect another high-scoring contest today at Wankhede.
Toss to Bowl
Four out of six Women’s ODIs played at the Wankhede Stadium was won by the team chasing the target. As we saw in the first ODI this is a stellar ground for chasing & we reckon the team winning the toss will field first.
IND W vs AUS W Winning Prediction
Australian Women will be brimming with confidence after winning the first ODI. They will hope to continue the winning spree & win the second ODI as well. Their batting is Aussie’s strength & Indian bowlers will need some extra effort to stop them on this surface. India’s best chance is to outclass Australia as their bowling too has some setbacks. But looking at both teams’ forms & strengths we predict Australia Women to win this clash.
Australia Women to win this clash.
