India Women Team News:
After causing problems for Australia Women but failing to win, India Women made two changes for their match against Pakistan Women. Harleen Deol and Rajeshwari Gayakwad were replaced by Sneh Rana and S Meghana. Rana impressed with figures of 2-15, and we don’t expect anything different in this match.
India Women Squad

Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana has scored 87 runs in the tournament on this Edgbaston surface. In her unbeaten innings on Sunday, she hit eight fours and three sixes.
Harmanpreet Kaur
The skipper was not needed with either bat or ball against Pakistan Women, and she gave the rest of her team opportunities. She will undoubtedly be prepared to improve on her first-game performance if necessary.
Renuka Singh Thakur
Renuka Singh Thakur, a 26-year-old medium-fast bowler, has taken the most wickets on this pitch thus far. Six of her last seven international appearances have resulted in wickets.
Possible Playing XI:
Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia (wk),Sabbhineni Meghana, Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh, Renuka Singh
India Women Team Form
The victory over Pakistan Women on Sunday ended India Women’s disappointing run of two consecutive T20I defeats. The margin of victory was especially impressive.
Barbados Women Team News:
Following their convincing victory over Pakistan Women on Friday, Barbados Women made one change to their starting lineup for the match against Australia Women, with Keila Elliott replacing Aaliyah Williams. We anticipate an unchanged lineup for this ‘must-win’ match.

Players to watch out for:
Hayley Matthews
The skipper has been the standout performer for Barbados Women in this competition and has mastered the conditions in Birmingham. She was the leading scorer against Australia Women after hitting a fifty in the first game.
Deandra Dottin
Deandra Dottin is the only player in WT20I history to have scored a century and taken a five-wicket haul. However, she has yet to perform at her peak in this tournament.
Shanika Bruce
Shanika Bruce took the only wicket for her team against Australia Women. Her figures of 1-7 from two overs at Edgbaston were impressive given the margin of defeat.
Possible Playing XI:
Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews (c), Kycia Knight (wk), Kyshona Knight, Aaliyah Alleyne, Trishan Holder, Alisa Scantlebury, Shakera Selman, Shamilia Connell, Keila Elliott, Shanika Bruce

Spin bowlers have had the most success on this wicket in all of the games played so far. Expect bowlers of all types to have an advantage, and a par score of no more than 150.
The game will begin with clear skies and a temperature of 23 degrees. As the game progresses, the sky will become cloudier and more humid.

With both teams having won one and lost one so far, the equation for this match is simple. Whoever wins this game advances to the semi-finals, while the loser is eliminated. It will come down to big pressure moments, and one big inning could be enough to win. We believe India Women’s players have more experience in big matches and expect them to win.
