Date & Time: 17 Sep 2025, 01:30 PM IST
Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium
Tournament: Australia Women tour of India (ODI series)
Quick Match Preview
Recent Form (last 5):
IND-W: L W L W W (mixed, reliant on top order + all-rounders)
AUS-W: W W W W W (red-hot, cohesive across departments)
Head-to-Head (recent): AUS-W dominant (India have lost the last 5 vs Australia).
Last meeting at this venue (14 Sep): Big fantasy hauls for P. Litchfield (174), A. Sutherland (137), B. Mooney (131); for India, S. Mandhana (106) and P. Rawal (100) stood out.
Takeaway: Australia are in a rhythm and historically strong vs India. India’s path is via big top-order runs (Mandhana) + impact from all-rounders (Deepti, Harleen) and the in-form pacer K. Goud.

Pitch & Venue Analysis – Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Int’l Stadium
Nature: Balanced, but pace gets more fantasy points than spin.
Avg 1st inns score: 281
Avg wickets/inns: ~5
Toss trend (last ODI here): 100% chose to bat first.
Fantasy points split (indicative):
1st inns: Bat 435 vs Bowl 241
2nd inns: Bat 478 vs Bowl 109
Pace vs Spin (fp/over, indicative): Pace ~6.2–6.3, Spin ~1.8–2.6 → Prefer pacers.
Fantasy angle:
Top-order batters from the batting-first side + frontline pacers (new ball & death) gain. Wrist-spin can still be a differential, but seamers are safer.

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact (projected roles)
AUS-W Powerplay bat: Healy, Litchfield, Mooney → High base points via boundaries.
AUS-W Ball: Schutt/Garth new-ball swing; Sutherland can share PP or 1st change, returns at the death.
IND-W Powerplay bat: Mandhana key; Jemimah to stabilize.
IND-W Ball: K. Goud new ball + possible death; Deepti controls middle overs; Radha middle overs choke.
Death-overs targets: Sutherland/Schutt (AUS) & Goud/Deepti (IND) for wicket upside.
MVP & Differential Picks
Core MVPs (safe C/VC pool)
Annabel Sutherland (AR, AUS): Multi-phase overs + batting depth; massive ceiling at this venue.
Phoebe Litchfield (BAT, AUS): Elite ODI form; PP exploit; huge last game here.
Smriti Mandhana (BAT, IND): India’s form barometer; excellent vs pace in PP.
High-Ceiling Differentials
Ash Gardner (AR, AUS): Bat + useful overs; tournament talisman, ownership may dip after a low last game.
Megan Schutt (BOW, AUS): Swing + death = wicket clusters.
K. Goud (BOW, IND): Form + role; pacer-friendly venue.
Harleen Deol (AR, IND): Batting form and part-time overs; point spikes possible.
Pooja Rawal (BAT, IND): Recent ton—punt if in XI.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (small league)
Formation: 1 WK – 4 BAT – 3 AR – 3 BOW
(Balance between top-order runs and pace-friendly venue)
WK: Beth Mooney (safe floor; form + venue output)
(Alt: Healy if you want double-WK and drop a bowler in GL)BAT: Phoebe Litchfield, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Pooja Rawal (punt; swap to a confirmed top-5 if she’s not in XI)
AR: Annabel Sutherland (C), Ash Gardner (VC), Deepti Sharma
BOW: Megan Schutt, K. Goud, Alana King
(GL swaps: Kim Garth / Radha Yadav based on toss & XI)
Captaincy Ladder: 1) Sutherland • 2) Litchfield • 3) Mandhana • 4) Gardner (GL)
Conditional Strategy (toss & team news)
If AUS-W bat first: Stack Litchfield/Mooney/Healy + Sutherland + Schutt. Consider Alana King for middle-overs when India chase.
If IND-W bat first: Keep Mandhana (VC); add a second Indian batter (Jemi/Harleen). Still retain Sutherland/Schutt for wicket clusters late.
If there’s grass/overcast: Upgrade Kim Garth; consider double-AUS new-ball pair (Schutt+Garth).
If dry/used pitch: Slight bump to Alana King / Radha Yadav; keep Deepti locked.
Final Tips
Pacers over spinners at this venue for safety; carry one attacking spinner (King/Radha) for upside.
Avoid over-stacking Indian bowling if Australia bat first—AUS top order is in sublime touch.
Watch final XIs: If Rawal not in XI, pivot to a confirmed top-5 batter or Healy (double-WK build) and adjust bowlers accordingly.
Grand Leagues: Gardner (after a low score), Goud (form + role), and King (conditions) are your best leverage plays.
