Key Player Battles

Shweta Sehrawat vs Darcie Brown: Sehrawat needs a strong start against real pace early. Brown was one of the key reasons India A struggled to reach a big total in the first match.

Anushka Sharma vs Tayla Vlaeminck: India A’s captain against a bowler with senior international experience. India A need their captain to lead from the front after the first match loss.

Sayali Satghare vs Australia A’s top order: Satghare’s bowling will be important if India A are to defend a total or restrict Australia A early.

INDW-A vs AUSW-A 2nd T20 Fantasy Team

Wicketkeeper: Uma Chetry

Batters: Shweta Sehrawat, Rachel Trenaman, Katie Mack, Anushka Sharma (VC)

All-rounders: Sayali Satghare, Nicole Faltum, Minnu Mani, Tanuja Kanwar

Bowlers: Darcie Brown (C), Tayla Vlaeminck

Brown is captain because she has already shown real international quality in the first match. Sharma is vice captain as India A’s leader, a player who needs to respond after the opening defeat.

Vlaeminck is included for the same reason as Brown, since both bowlers carry more threat than a typical player at this level.

Match Prediction

Australia A should win again. Darcie Brown and Tayla Vlaeminck give them a pace attack that is a clear step above what India A have faced from most opponents, and Australia A have already won the head to head battle in this series once.

India A have shown they can win big matches, having taken the Asia Cup Rising Stars title this year. But four straight losses to this exact opponent, including the one already played in this series, point to a real gap right now.

Australia A are the pick to go 2-0 up in the series.
