IND W vs AUS W Head-to-head stats and records you need to know before India vs Australia Women's T20 World Cup 2024 match
The biggest match for the Indian women's side is almost here as they prepare to take on the best side in the form of Australia. It will be Match 18 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
With three out of three wins, Australia already have one foot in the knockout stages. Harmanpreet Kaur and company, meanwhile, will have to be at their best. Although the wins over Pakistan and Sri Lanka would have done a world of good to India, the loss against New Zealand would still sting.

The last time these two teams met in a WT20I was when Australia toured India back in January this year. It was a three-game T20I series, with all games hosted at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. With series at 1-1, the third T20I was expected to be a thriller.
However, Australia recorded an easy win to take home the series, under the leadership of Alyssa Healy. After putting India to bat first, Aussies restricted the hosts to 147/6. While Shafali Verma (26) and Smriti Mandhana (29) failed to convert their stars, both Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur failed.
However, Richa Ghosh's 34 added the much-needed impetus for India. For Australia, Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Wareham bagged two wickets each.
In reply, Australia chased down the target with eight balls to spare. Alyssa Healy bludgeoned a fifty alongside Beth Mooney, who also made a 45-ball 52*. The southpaw also hit the winning runs too.
