Predicting Australia Women’s playing XI for their second T20I against England Women. Australian women will take on England women in the second T20I of the ongoing series. Australian women hammered England in the first T20I of the series at the Sydney Cricket Ground by 57 runs. Due to the insane quality of their team, the home side will start as the favorites to win the second T20I, which will be taking place at the Manuka Oval on the 23rd of January 2024 at 1:45 PM (IST).
England women are among the best teams in the world. But even they aren’t good enough to overcome the challenge of the dominant Australian women. In every department, Australia has better players and combinations. Even without star players like Alyssa Healy and Ashleigh Gardner, they have immense talented players who can rise to the occasion and win matches for their side.
Here is the probable Australia Women’s Playing XI for their second T20I against England women:
Top Order:

Australia has an experienced batter with two emerging stars in the top order. Beth Mooney is experienced and will keep the wickets for her side. She scored 75(51) in the first T20I and claimed a couple of catches. Georgia Voll is young and bright. She scored an aggressive 21(11) to give a brisk start to her side in the first T20I. Phoebe Litchfield is a good anchor at number 3. The Southpaw scored 25(20) before being run out in the first T20I.
Middle Order:

Australia’s middle order is its biggest strength due to the quality of its All-rounders. Ellyse Perry, at number 4, is one of the best players women’s cricket has ever seen. She can anchor the innings and bat aggressively as well. If required, she could bowl, too. Annabel Sutherland is one of the best-emerging players in the world who can save her side from collapse. Tahlia McGrath is arguably the best All-rounder in the world and has led Australia well in Alyssa’s absence.
Lower Middle Order:

In the lower middle order, Australia has some good All-rounders. Grace Harris and Georgia Wareham could continue to play at numbers 7 and 8 respectively. Harris scored 14(8) in the first T20I and didn’t even have to bowl a delivery. Wareham scored 11(10) and claimed 3/25 with the ball in her spell of three overs. She cleaned up the tail well and ensured Australia won with 4 overs to spare.
Bowlers:

Australia’s bowling has two world-class pacers, Kim Garth and Megan Schutt. They can operate in the powerplay and at the death. While both of them were expensive in the first T20I, one can trust them to deliver the goods in the upcoming games. Alana King is one of the best wicket-taking spinners in the world. She claimed 2/14 in her spell of three overs including a maiden in the first T20I.
