Australia Women vs England Women Match Preview, 1st T20I
MATCH: Australia Women vs England Women
DATE: January 20,Monday
TIME: 1:45 PM (IST)
VENUE: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Sydney
TOURNAMENT: 1st 2TOI 2025
Australia Women will take on England Women in first T20I at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on January 19. After winning the ODI series by 3-0, Australia are high on momentum and are on their way to clinch the Women’s Ashes 2025. England, however, have a chance to redeem themselves in the T20I series and avoid losing the trophy.
The fact that England failed to chase the target in two consecutive ODIs could be a point of concern for the team. Their bowling lacked the impact and the T20Is just intensifies the need to come good with the ball with batters joining the cause and pile up runs.
Pitch Report
The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), one of the most iconic cricketing venues in the world, is conducive for batting and can cause problems for the bowlers who lack pace. Speaking of pace, the fast bowlers will generate enough bounce and can capitalize in the powerplay with early swing on offer. Batting first can prove to be an ideal decision on this track.
