Aus eves eye revenge against England

With hosts India out of the reckoning after losing all three of their matches, tomorrow's game will serve as a dress rehearsal for the final to be played on Saturday at the Brabourne Stadium.

But it would be an uphill task for Australia, who have defeated India twice in the tournament, to outplay England.

In the first game between the two, England crushed the Southern stars by eight wickets, putting up an all-round show.

All English batters are in prime form, especially Daniellie Wyatt, whose second T20 century against India helped the visitors pull off a record chase.

Others like Tamsin Beaumont, Natalie Sciver will also look to pick up where they left against India and if all of them fire in unison then a high scoring match will be on the cards on a placid track.

Meanwhile, England bowlers Tash Farrant, Ketie George, veteran Jenny Gunn and Sciver have been among wickets and they would like to restrict the Australians, who also boast some of the finest power-hitters.

But having already booked a spot in the final, England may test their bench-strength by giving their new players a chance.

The Aussies will hope their skipper Meg Lanning and in-form batters Beth Mooney and Elyse Villani continue to fire.

Megan Schutt, who became the first woman from Down Under, to take a hat-trick in international T20s, could be a potential threat to the English and will play a crucial role in her team's result. But Schutts will require support from medium-pacer Delissa Kimmince and the spinners, who have leaked runs.
