It is going to be a tight contest when you have Australia in the opponent’s corner and it will take more than 100% from the Indian team to make some good news off this contest.
This is not the first time when India is going to play a make-or-break game against Australia. India Women lost to Australia Women in the final of the T20 World Cup 2020 by a big margin of 85 runs and then lost in the semifinal of the 2023 T20 World Cup against Australia by a small margin of 5 runs.
India track record against Australia in the knock-out contests haven’t been impressive but India have to make it count now by finding a way to overcome the Australia hurdle.
India lost the first match against New Zealand where the Indian Girls couldn’t bear the onslaught of Sophie Devine and pin-accurate bowling of Rosemary Mair. New Zealand won the match by 58 runs not only handing India a loss but a big negative run rate.
However, India won the next two contests in a row against Pakistan and Sri Lanka by 6 wickets and 82 runs respectively. These two victories have one again put India against Australia in a knock-out-like contest.
Australia, on the other hand, have won all their three matches till now. It is all down to this match for India and big names like Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Renuka Thakur need to make it happen for India.

Sharjah Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Sharjah Cricket Stadium offers a tricky mix of short boundaries and a typically slow pitch. While the sluggish surface can make timing shots harder, the small boundaries still lead to plenty of runs. Captains often choose to bowl first after winning the toss, as teams batting first historically have a better chance of victory. Bowling first also helps exploit the fresh pitch, which provides more consistent bounce early in the game.
