Pre-Match Analysis:

India Women are heading into this series after a triumph in the Women’s Asia Cup in October. They are hosting the T20I bilateral series against Australia for the first time since 2012. There has been a change in the coaching setup, Hrishikesh Kanitkar who was handed the batting coach role will take charge of the side. Anjali Sarvani has earned her maiden India call-up for her extraordinary domestic performances. As per reports Shafali Verma and Richa Ghosh won’t play all the matches in this series as both are part of India’s U19 World Cup squad.

Australia Women on the other hand haven’t lost a single T20I this year. They emerged as champions in the inaugural Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket beating India in the finals by 9 runs. Their record against India has been remarkable as they have won their previous 4 matches. Meg Lanning who took an indefinite break from cricket will miss this series and Alyssa Healy will lead the side in her absence. Darcie Brown isn’t doing well and is doubtful for the series opener.
