Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Predicting Australia’s Playing XI for their clash against New Zealand

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is moving on to its 10th game between Australia and New Zealand, and has started their tournament on a winning note. New Zealand defeated India by 58 runs, while Australia won against Sri Lanka by six wickets. The two strong teams are set to play against each other, which will provide excitement and fun for the tournament. Both teams won their first game with a good margin, so their NRR has been sorted for a while. Now, they must concentrate on winning the game with a reasonable margin. 

Here’s the prediction for Australia’s playing XI against New Zealand:

Top Order

Beth Mooney, Alyssa Healy, and Georgia Wareham form the top order of the Australian attack. These women have proved to be the best in the team, giving a solid start to the game and helping Australia get to a good total. The most important part of any game is the top order, and these three players are the best in their game. Skipper Healy is an attacking batter but Mooney’s 43 runs in the previous game helped them claim the match against Sri Lanka. 

Middle Order

The middle-order batting stars are Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Phoebe Litchfield, and Tahlia McGrath. While their contribution wasn’t much needed in the previous game against New Zealand, they’ll come in handy. Perry is a striking batter and has an ample amount of experience in playing against strong teams. She will play a huge role in the big game against New Zealand.  

Bowlers

Australia’s bowling attack is handled by Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Molineux, Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown. Schutt and Molineux were brilliant in the previous game and hence, can prove to be crucial in the upcoming games. The bowling department is the strongest point in the Australian team and they will use it in the next game.
