Preview for Dream11 Fantasy
England Women have already qualified for the final of the ongoing tri-nation series also involving India Women and Australia Women. Surprisingly, the home side hasn’t played its best cricket in the three matches so far losing two of them. They lost to India on Saturday failing to defend 173 runs which they posted on the back of Ashleigh Gardner’s terrific 93-run knock.
Their final league game against England Women is a do or die encounter and cannot afford to lose. Australia not playing the final of the tri-series at home was the unlikeliest scenario ahead of the tournament. Moreover, India are dependent on the result of this game as they would want England to win which knocks the hosts out. It is expected to be a very close game with Australia giving its best in a must-win game.
Weather Report
There is around most parts of Australia and even Melbourne is no exception. It is expected to be cloudy on Sunday while the chances of rain coming down are 20%. The temperature will hover in the mid20s during the match according to AccuWeather.
Pitch Report
The surface for the match 5 of the tournament was very good to bat. India chased down 174 runs and the same strip is likely to be used for this game as well. A score around 160 runs should be chaseable on Sunday as the pitch might be on the slower side as it will be in action for the second consecutive match. Expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.
Average first innings score: 148 (Last two matches at the venue)
