IND Women vs AUS Women T20 World Cup 2024 Live Score: Welcome to ABP Live’s live coverage of what is poised to be one of the most entertaining games of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 as India take on the defending champions Australia in the 18th match of the tournament’s group stage at Sharjah.
Australia currently lead Group A with six points, having secured three consecutive wins. Even a loss is unlikely to derail their path to the semifinals, as their significantly superior net run rate keeps them well ahead of the other three contenders in Group A.
India, on the other hand, face a must-win situation to keep their semifinal hopes alive. Currently sitting in second place with two wins and one loss from three games, a heavy defeat to Australia could jeopardise their chances, especially if New Zealand overcome Pakistan on Monday.
India's campaign is in a tough spot after suffering a heavy 58-run defeat to New Zealand in their opening match. A win against the White Ferns would have put them in a strong position for a semifinal berth, but now India must beat the defending champions, Australia, and hope for an upset by Pakistan when they face New Zealand on Monday, October 14, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India and Australia have faced off in 34 T20Is to date, with Australia dominating the encounters. The Aussies have claimed victory in 25 of the matches, while India has managed just eight wins. One game ended without a result.
India’s 11 Against Australia: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh.
Australia’s 11 against India: Beth Mooney(w), Grace Harris, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath(c), Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Molineux, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown.
IND-W vs AUS-W Live Score: Goodbye!

That is all from us for the India vs Australia clash. Finger's crossed for tomorrow's game between New Zealand and Pakistan.
IND-W vs AUS-W Live Score: Australia Make It 4 In 4
Australia secured a narrow victory against India in a match that India nearly turned around. Despite Harmanpreet Kaur's determined effort, Sutherland effectively kept her away from the strike in the final over, allowing Australia to clinch the win. Australia's consistent pressure, particularly during the middle overs, stifled India's scoring, with Kaur struggling to maintain a strike rate above 100. While Kaur and Deepti Sharma briefly rallied with boundaries, Molineux's dismissal of Sharma proved crucial. In the last over, Sutherland executed her deliveries expertly, sealing the match for Australia, who have now won all four of their games and qualified for the semifinals. India's fate now hinges on the upcoming match between Pakistan and New Zealand tomorrow.
Notably, India's net run rate (NRR) has improved above that of New Zealandas they needed to cross the 139-run mark in the chase to ensure they have a better NRR. In case New Zealand lose against Pakistan, India are likely to go through to the semis given that Pakistan's margin of win is not big enough to surpass that of India's.

ANOTHER RUN OUT FOR INDIA! India have lost three wickets in this over itself. They need 12 off final 2 balls. Sutherland bowled a wide ball and new batter Shreyanka Patil stepped out of the crease wanting to get captain Harmanpreet Kaur back on the strike but after realizing that the keeper had the ball in her hands, she turned it down. But her foot was not placed inside the crease when Mooney knocked the bails off, running Patil out.
