Women’s WT20 2020 Final – IN-W vs AU-W Fantasy Preview

It has been a fantastic 2020 Women’s World T20 tournament so far. All those women who put in weeks and months of practice and hard work and it boils down to the final match which will take place at the grand MCG in Melbourne, Australia. And it’s a perfect setting to play the final of the Women’s World Cup on Women’s Day itself, 8th March 2020.

We have an unbeaten India Women team that first reached the final after topping the group stage with 4 wins in 4 games and then progressing ahead of England Women after their semi-final was washed out. Next, Australia Women had a tight game against South Africa Women, with the former progressing.

Numbers

  • Last 5 games head to head, IND Women lead 3-2.
  • In the reverse fixture between them, IND Women won by 17 runs.
  • Smriti Mandhana – only 38 runs in 3 games in this tournament.
  • Poonam Yadav – tournament leader with 9 wickets in 4 games.
  • Beth Mooney – 181 runs in 5 games so far this tournament.

India Women

India have been boosted at the top of the batting order with the young Shafali Varma who is only 16 years old but is at #1 on the ICC T20 Rankings for Women. She has 161 runs in 4 games so far with a blistering strike rate of 160+. Another youngster to watch out for is the big-hitting Jemimah Rodrigues who has 85 runs in 4 games and has a good record of 6 fifties in 43 international T20s for India so far.

Someone who can be the captain of your IN-W vs AU-W fantasy team is all-rounder Deepti Sharma. While she has only 2 wickets in 4 games, she has bowled her quota in every game and even has a top score of 49* with the bat; she can be very destructive on her day. With the ball, Poonam Yadav is the leader but Shikha Pandey has also been brilliant with 7 wickets in 4 games and a miserly economy rate of just 5.3 this tournament.

Australia Women

While everyone will be selecting Beth Mooney because she’s one of the highest scorers in the tournament, I’ll pick their second best batter so far in Alyssa Healy who also has 2 fifties in 5 games and has been good against spin too, which is why I can’t drop her today. Though she has only 78 runs in 5 games this tournament, Ashleigh Gardner has also been good against spinners, which is why I’d pick her as a batter too.

With the ball, Megan Schutt expressed her displeasure in having to play India Women in the final, but personally, she has had a brilliant competition, so I’m picking her in my Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team, having 9 scalps in her 5 games. Jess Jonassen should also be picked as she has 7 scalps so far and she’s proved in the past she can bat if needed in the final. AUS Women will have to play the final without Ellyse Perry.
