CWC 2022 India vs Australia Toss: Get the latest toss updates and the Playing 11 predictions from the India vs Australia match at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022

Indian Women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj and her ladies would be up against a very tough challenge against the Australian Women's cricket team at Eden Park in Auckland. This would be the first game at this venue and there are chances of rain disturbing the play. 

However, the Indian team would be dead set on winning this match and getting on with the momentum after a devastating loss against England in its last game. Australia on the other hand would look to continue their winning run after having won four out of four matches in the tournament so far.

Here's how the Playing 11 of India and Australia Women's World Cup match would look like

India must pick Shafali Verma in Playing 11 at all costs as she is someone who can win matches single-handedly and take the attack to the opposition right from the word go. No doubt that Yastika Bhatia has done well but she is never the type of batter that Verma is. Hence Verma must be included. Other than that, India could also play Poonam Yadav in place of either Sneh Rana or Deepti Sharma. Agreed that both Sneh and Deepti can wield the willow, but Yadav is a wicket-taker and India need to pick wickets. Deepti Sharma hasn't really been able to fire in this World Cup either with the bat or ball. 

Australia on the other hand has no problems to solve at all as it is going like a well-oiled machine and hence there would be no changes in their Playing 11.
