Australia tried really well but was unable to actually win. Australian women lost the match by only three runs. I honestly did not think that England women will have so much problem trying to win this match. The target was really good. The problem is Australia lost wickets at regular intervals. England has started well, but they failed to do anything once the top order got out. Australia was at least consistent. But Mooney, the opener needed to have a better strike rate.
Australia defeated that match because they haven't scored as much as they need after the first 6 overs. But towards the end they were active enough to change the outcome of the match. Australia women team scored 19 runs in 18th over, their collection was 11 in 19th over and they scored 16 runs in 20th over. They were able to score 46 runs in these last three overs. If Australia team could add some runs in the 16th over, It would not have been difficult for the Australian women's team to win that match.
It was a shame that the last match had to go through the DLS method. I think Australian women could have actually had a chance to win in that match. But it is also true that Australia did not score enough to defend even if the match was played for the whole 20 overs in the second innings. But Australia was doing well to pick up wickets. But it is what it is.
England Australia women's team has always been a close game with England winning once and Australia winning once in the last 2 T20 matches. Today's match between these two teams is very difficult to predict as both teams are strong at times and are playing with a lot of confidence. But according to my personal prediction Australia is slightly more likely to win than England. But regardless of the result of the game, there will be a lot of excitement in the game
The last match was won by England women by the DLS method by 5 wickets with four balls left. Sadly the match was not played throughout the whole 20 overs in the second innings. I still don’t think Australian women could actually win. But the result might have been different. The performance of Australian women was actually not as expected. They have underperformed against England in my opinion.
