India Women vs Australia Women LIVE, India Playing XI: Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to go UNCHANGED in SEMI-FINAL clash against HEAVYWEIGHT Aussies, Follow T20 World Cup 2023 LIVE
Unlike Australians who will go unchanged in Newlands, Team India is hard to predict.
In Group Stage, Smriti Mandhana, the vice-captain, was welcomed back from a finger injury after missing the opening game vs Pakistan.
Then Shikha Pandey replaced Devika Vaidya in the starting lineup for India’s match against England.
However, Vaidya returned for India’s match against Ireland on Monday by removing Radha Yadav from the lineup.
As a result, India are a little harder to predict going into the semi-finals.
However given that Devika did not bowl a single delivery against Ireland, India can go back to a safer option in Radha Yadav.
Team Management will also give thought to playing both Radha and Devika in place of Shikha Pandey. But this will tinker the combination in the middle.

The Juggernaut of Team Australia
The Australians, who are currently No. 1 in the world, are attempting to win a hat-trick of Women’s T20 World Cup titles.
Australia have won 22 games in the format since winning the most recent tournament in 2020, losing just twice in regulation time—both to New Zealand.
Moreover, India has a poor recent record against the Australians. They suffered a huge T20I series loss at home in December after losing to them in the Commonwealth Games final in August.
India prevailed in the One-Over Elimination, while Australia won the other four games in the series, with the fifth game ending in a tie.
