Fixture: India Women vs Australia Women (ODI)
Date & Time: 20 Sep 2025, 01:30 PM IST
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Tournament: Australia Women tour of India
Playing XI: Not announced yet
Short Match Preview
Recent form:
IND-W: W L W L W (streaky but big ceilings: Mandhana 221 last game).
AUS-W: L W W W W (strong and typically reliable; Sutherland, Gardner in form).
H2H recent: AUS-W lead (IND-W last 5 vs AUS-W: W L L L L).
Narrative: India hit back in the 2nd ODI led by Smriti Mandhana (221) and a superb bowling show from K Goud (140). Australia still have the deeper all-round core (A. Sutherland, A. Gardner, E. Perry) and usually bounce back quickly.

Pitch & Venue Analysis – Arun Jaitley Stadium (Delhi)
Nature: Balanced (slight tilt to batting overall).
Avg 1st inns: ~297 | Avg wickets/inn: ~8
Fantasy split (overall): BAT 61.4% vs BOWL 38.6% points.
Pacers vs Spinners (fantasy/over):
1st inns: Pace 6.3 > Spin 4.4 (new ball value)
2nd inns: Spin 7.9 > Pace 5.9 (grip/hold later)
Toss trends: Captains prefer chasing (≈70%); win rate roughly even.
Takeaway: Pick top-order batters and new-ball pacers if your team bats/bowls first respectively. In chases, add one attacking spinner for 2nd-innings upside.
Venue Fantasy Angles
Powerplay bowlers get early movement (pace-friendly in 1st inns).
Set top-order batters can make it big (Mandhana/Litchfield profiles).
2nd-innings spinners (R Yadav / A King) gain value if target pressure builds.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact
Powerplay (1–10):
With the ball: K Goud (IND) swinging it upfront; D Brown, M Schutt (AUS) accurate and wicket-taking.
With the bat: S Mandhana (IND) thrives vs pace; P Litchfield & A Healy (AUS) fast starters.
Middle/Overs 11–40:
Control/Strikes: D Sharma & S Rana (IND); A King & A Gardner (AUS).
Anchors: B Mooney (AUS), Mandhana (IND) to convert starts.
Death (41–50):
Finishers with bat: A Sutherland (AUS), H Kaur (IND) (boom-or-bust).
Death bowling: D Brown (AUS) yorkers/pace; R Yadav (IND) for late-order scalps if pitch grips.
Key MVP Picks
Smriti Mandhana (IND, BAT) – Current ceiling is the highest (221 last match); PP conditions suit.
Annabel Sutherland (AUS, AR) – Form tank + death hitting + a few overs = multi-facet points.
Deepti Sharma (IND, AR) – Bankable overs + batting time in middle; great on a slowing surface.
Differential Picks (High Upside)
Darcie Brown (AUS, BOW) – 147 last game; PP destroyer if India chase.
Radha Yadav (IND, BOW) – 64 last game; spikes in 2nd innings with spin aid.
Ashleigh Gardner (AUS, AR) – Volatile but massive upside (112 last game; historically clutch).
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Classic ODI)
(Balance for both toss scenarios; adjust per toss notes below.)
WK (1): R Ghosh
BAT (4): S Mandhana, P Litchfield, P Rawal, J Rodrigues / B Mooney (choose one based on credits)
AR (3): A Sutherland (VC), D Sharma, A Gardner
BOW (3): K Goud, D Brown, R Yadav
Captain: Smriti Mandhana
Vice-Captain: Annabel Sutherland
Alt C/VC: A Gardner / D Sharma if you want to hedge multi-entry.
Final Fantasy Tips & Toss-Based Tweaks
If IND bat first: Boost Mandhana (C); keep D Brown for PP wickets but consider A King only if pitch looks dry.
If AUS bat first: Prioritize Litchfield/Mooney; keep Sutherland (VC) locked.
If the pitch looks drier than usual: Upgrade Radha Yadav (or add A King) over a pure pacer.
If heavy grass/overcast: Double down on new-ball pacers (Goud + Brown + Schutt rotation).
Safe Core (small leagues): Mandhana, Sutherland, Deepti, Gardner, Goud.
Grand League punts: H Kaur, A King, G Voll (role-dependent).
Note: Playing XIs not announced—re-check at toss. If Mooney keeps and opens, she’s a fine swap for R Ghosh in WK to chase stability points.
