With both teams already in the semifinals, India vs Australia showdown will be about dominance and momentum.
India will face their biggest challenge of the ongoing ICC Women's World T20 so far when they lock horns with a gifted Australian team on Saturday.
With both teams already in the semifinals, it will be showdown to assert dominance and continue momentum for the sides.
The result of Saturday’s match may not be of much significance, but India will be looking to beat a superior side and gain huge confidence ahead of the knockouts. The 'Women in Blue' would also be aiming to set the record straight after losing to their rivals twice in the India Tri-Nation Women's T20 Series held earlier this year.
Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who was star when India beat Australia in last year's World T20 semifinal, blasted a century in the opener this year to power her side to an imposing 194 runs. It surpassed the previous highest world record of 191 runs stationed by Australia against Ireland in 2014.
Apart from Kaur, the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj and Jemimah Rodrigues can also turn a game with the bat.
All-rounder Deepti Sharma and newcomer D Hemalatha carry the confidence of ruining the opponents on their day.
The bowling department is filled with talents like Poonam Yadav, Radha Yadhav, Deepti, Hemalatha and Mansi Joshi. They have already shown their strength. If needed, skipper Kaur can also be economical while picking wickets at regular intervals.
The wicket-keeper batter, Tanya Bhatia has improved behind the wickets as she reminds of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's quick style.
On the other hand, Australia's skipper Meg Lanning has an impressive batting record with the strike rate of 118. She also holds the highest score of 126 runs in T20 history.
With three clinical wins, opener and wicketkeeper batter Alyssa Healy has scored more runs than any of her countrywoman.
Assisting with the ball, fast-bowlers Megan Schutt and Ellyse Perry along with the spin duo of Georgia Wareham and Sophie Molineux can be handy on Guyana's slow pitch.
