Australia Women will take on India Women in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane.
The visitors would want to come back stronger from the battering they endured in the series opener. It was a tame performance with the bat as they were beaten out for a paltry 100. A splendid five-wicket haul by Megan Schutt was followed up by brisk knocks by openers, Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Voll to guide the Aussies to a five-wicket victory with 202 deliveries in the bank.
With crucial Women’s Championship points at stake, the upcoming game holds a lot of significance for both the sides.

Pitch Report
The surface at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane supports the fast bowlers. However, once the batters are settled, runs tend to flow, but it’s usually not an easy track to bat on. In the first game, played at the same ground, the hosts bundled out the Women in Blue for just 100. As a result, bowling first will be ideal, and anything over the 270-run mark can be a good total on the surface.

Predicted Playing XIs
The Aussies looked magnificent across departments in the opening game of the series. Absolute dominance with the ball in the first innings of the previous game would be a huge confidence booster, and there were no troubles whatsoever in chasing the target down. As a result, they’re likely to enter with the same mix for the next match as well.
