T20 World Cup Women: Australia vs Netherlands Match Preview Odds & Predictions
Australia
Netherlands
Australia will lock horns against the Netherlands at the Utilita Bowl in West End on Saturday. The Lionesses have lost all three games at this tournament. Can they get their first here? Who will win?
Australia Preview
Australia have been impressive in their recent games, having won their last 14 games, including a victory over Bangladesh in their most recent match. In this outing, they battled with some players ruled out due to injuries, as they had exactly 13 players fit to play. Kim Garth got a brace earlier, and Ellyse Perry backed it. The game was decided after a few balls entered Georgia Voll, striking the ball nicely and looking at the limits of fours in 32 balls. She did well and got as much as Bangladesh got in their entire game. Australia have now won both games at the World Cup, putting them in 2nd place in Group A with 4 points.
Australia XI
Heather Siegers, Phebe Molkenboer, Babette de Leede(w/c), Sterre Kalis, Robine Rijke, Frederique Overdijk, Iris Zwilling, Myrthe van den Raad, Silver Siegers, Caroline de Lange, Isabel van der Woning.
Netherlands Preview
The Netherlands have been disappointing in the World Cup, suffering losses in both games, including a six-wicket defeat to Bangladesh and a 95-run loss to India. Against India, Heather Siegers (21) and Phebe Molkenboer (15) provided a solid start for the Netherlands, but Nandani Sharma claimed her first T20 World Cup wicket by dismissing Siegers. Deepti Sharma, following her five-wicket haul against Pakistan, removed Molkenboer. Despite brief resistance from Babette de Leede and Sterre Kalis before they fell to Nandini and Shafali, the Dutch collapsed from 96/4, losing their final six wickets for only 18 runs. Overall, they have now lost their last six game. Not only that, they are the last team in Group 1’s standings.
Netherlands XI
Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney(w), Ellyse Perry, Grace Harris, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Sophie Molineux(c), Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt.
Australia vs Netherlands Prediction
Australia have been exceptional since the start of the World Cup, and with more points, they will advance to the next rounds. They have now won their last 14 games, and that momentum is really high in their camp. On the contrary, the Netherlands have lost their last six games. Nevertheless, I expect the first period of the game to see more points. My prediction is first 2 over 14.5, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.60.
