India Women vs Australia Women ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Match No 18 Live: When and where to watch IND-W vs AUS-W LIVE on TV and online in India

New Delhi: India confronts a critical must-win situation in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 as they gear up to face Australia in a pivotal group-stage match on Sunday in Sharjah. Harmanpreet Kaur’s squad arrives at this important contest with renewed confidence after their impressive 82-run victory over Sri Lanka, which not only elevated their spirits but also enhanced their net run rate. Currently sitting second in Group A with four points, India recognizes the importance of securing a win against the Australians to strengthen their chances of advancing in the tournament.

But the stakes are very high as New Zealand is still in contention and Pakistan could well prove to be a giant killer. If India loses, New Zealand can overtake them in the semis if they win against Pakistan on Monday. The critical emphasis placed here on net run rate shows why the final standings would indeed witness this factor as a plausible tie-breaker.

They will face strong resistance in the form of the Australian women’s team, a team which has stood the test of time in women’s cricket. The two teams have played each other 34 times in T20Is: out of these 34 matches, Australia have won 25 games, while India have won seven. The current form of Australia in the tournament shows them dominating the showpiece as they are yet to lose any game and currently boast six points from three games.

However, the defending champions will be missing two key players for this encounter. Captain Alyssa Healy, who has been in excellent form, sustained an “acute injury to her right foot” in their previous match against Pakistan and is expected to miss the clash. Additionally, fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck dislocated her shoulder in the same match, creating a gap in Australia’s bowling attack. In Healy’s absence, experienced campaigner Beth Mooney will assume wicketkeeping duties, putting Australia’s depth to the test against a determined Indian side.
