Pitch Report
As seen in previous games, a decent batting track awaits the two sides in Wellington. Inclement weather can be an issue and a shortened game is realistic. The overcast conditions should help the pacers get some swing early on, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the spinners should also come into play given the turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s AU-W vs WI-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Alyssa Healy: Although Alyssa Healy has blown hot and cold in the tournament, she has amassed 210 runs at a healthy strike rate. She is one of the most explosive batters on the women's circuit and will be keen to get some quick runs against the Windies. With Shemaine Campbelle not in the best of form, Healy is a must-have in your AU-W vs WI-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Deandra Dottin: Deandra Dottin, who started the tournament in fine fashion, has gone off the boil in recent games. However, Dottin is a hard-hitting top-order batter with a knack for scoring big runs in crunch matches. With the Windies batter likely to play a part with the ball too, she is one to keep an eye out for in this game.
All-rounder
Hayley Matthews: Hayley Matthews has been the Windies' go-to player with both the bat and ball in the tournament. The all-rounder's form is bound to come in handy in this knockout fixture. Given the conditions on offer, Williams is a good addition to your AU-W vs WI-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Jess Jonassen: Jess Jonassen has been decent for Australia despite not picking up too many wickets. But Jonassen is one of the best bowlers in the world, with her accuracy being key in the middle overs. With the all-rounder also being a capable batter, she is a decent pick for your Dream11 fantasy team.
