Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana
India’s vice-captain, Smriti Mandhana, could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Australia. The left-handed batter has been running high on confidence after an impressive performance in the T20I leg of the series. Mandhana scored 129 runs in three innings at an average of 64.50 and a strike rate of 134.38, including one fifty to her name.
Probable Best Bowler: Annabel Sutherland
Right-arm pacer Annabel Sutherland could make the difference with her bowling. The speedster picked up four wickets in three T20Is and was her team’s best bowler. With the pitch having something for the bowlers, Sutherland will look to make the most of it and pick wickets at regular intervals.
