Though the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team won three of its four group stage games, none of them were convincing, including the game against Ireland. Their lone defeat came against England.
    Deepti Sharma scored runs in her lone over against Ireland, but she has been the most consistent spinner. Pooja Vastrakar, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Radha Yadav will need to be much more accurate against the ferocious Aussies.
    Australia opener Betth Mooney is wary of India’s challenge, but based on recent results, Australia should win easily. I expect it to be a huge contest; they’ve pushed us significantly in the last few years, and they have a lot of match winners in that lineup as well, Mooney told reporters on Tuesday.
    We’re not expecting it to be easy by any means, whether with a bat or a ball, but we know the style of play they’ve used in the past and they know ours pretty well, too. Harmanpreet stated that even though her team lost the home series, the high scoring five games gave the players a lot of confidence.
    I think that series gave us a lot of confidence, you know, the brand of cricket we played in that particular series was something which gave us a lot of confidence.source: news nationAnd now we know them intimately. We played five games in a row and then one practise game, so we know their strengths and weaknesses. Despite missing Australia’s final group game against South Africa due to quad soreness, opener Alyssa Healy is fit to play on Thursday.
