India Women vs Australia Women, Women's T20 World Cup 2023 Semi-Final Predicted XI: Find out the latest team news and the predicted playing eleven of both teams here

The Indian Women’s team will once again be up against one of their recent times’ greatest nemeses in Australia. Out of the last three knockout meetings, India have beaten Australia only once and that was in the semi-final of the 2017 ODI World Cup. They lost in the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup and the final of the Commonwealth Games 2022. Now meeting in a semi-final again, Harmanpreet Kaur and co would look to put up a solid fight against the mighty Aussies. 

Playing 11 combinations of India Women

India would go with the tried and tested combination of Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana at the top with Jemimah Rodriguez at three. Harmanpreet, Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh would form the perfect middle order. 

The all-round abilities of Pooja Vastrakar and Devika Vaidya would come in handy late in the batting order. Two out-and-out swing bowlers in Shikha Pandey and Runka Thakur alongside a thrifty Rajeshwari Gayakwad would most probably complete the Indian lineup.

Playing 11 combinations of Australia Women

Australia have the services of Alyssa Healy, who has been declared fully fit for the semi-final. Alongside her, Beth Mooney and Meg Lanning will form the top three. The experience of Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath will be worth its weight in gold in the middle order. Three spin bowlers in Georgia Wareham, Grace Harris and Alana King make this Aussie attack really potent.
