Women's cricket makes its debut at the Commonwealth Games with a high-octane clash between India and Australia. The game at Edgbaston assumes greater significance considering these sides are both strong contenders to advance to the semi-finals from Group A. They would have studied each other well, particularly the Indians as they face the top-ranked team in the format. Harmanpreet Kaur led India beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in a series last month and that would have given them a lot of confidence. Australia are led by Meg Lanning, whose run-scoring has often been the talk amongst the cricketing circles. Australia versus India will be telecasted on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on Sony Liv from 3:30 PM.

Australia, the reigning champions in both T20 and 50 over cricket, have a strong squad to choose their playing eleven from. The top-order batting unit consists of Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooning and Meg Lanning and the trio can tear apart any opposition attack on a given day. Ellyse Perry has been around for a while and can contribute with both bat and bowl. Tahlia McGrath has done well in the Big Bash but it is not time to show her talent at the international level.
India will depend a lot on Smriti Mandhana and Haramanpreet Kaur to get the runs and they need the likes of Shafali Verma to take some pressure off the duo. Yastika Bhatia has been getting runs in domestic cricket but it is yet to have an impact for India and she will need to be at her best, given her importance in the top order. In the bowling unit, Rajeshwari Gayakwad with her spin attack could prove to be dangerous for the Aussies.
