IND W vs AUS W: Big match against Australia and India today, Shikha Pandey told the ‘secret formula’ of victory;

IND W vs AUS W Womens T20 World Cup 2026: In the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, a very important match of Group A is to be played between the Indian team and Australia on Sunday from 7 pm. To keep alive the chances of reaching the semi-finals, the Indian team will have to defeat Australia at any cost. It is not going to be easy for Team India to defeat Australia, which has not lost a single match so far in the group stage.

However, former player Shikha Pandey has supported the Indian team in this match. Shikha told how Shafali Verma can compete with Australia’s bowling attack and named the bowler who according to her can control Ellyse Perry better.

What did the former all-rounder say?

The former all-rounder said on Geostar that I am not going to make any further changes in the playing eleven. We need to support our players a little more. From the first match to the fourth match, we never played the same combination of two fast bowlers consecutively. We have made a lot of changes. I want to give them that freedom and let them feel stable. We won well against Bangladesh, so we have to enter the field against Australia with the same positive mindset. Shikha Pandey Also talked about the challenge of stopping Australia’s legendary all-rounder Ellyse Perry.

Will keep an eye on these players

He said that it is not just his batting. Whenever she has come to bowl for Australia, she has taken wickets both the times. Some of his shots against Pakistan were amazing. She played Diana Baig’s short-pitched balls very well. She was fantastic. Another shot that he has added to his art is the scoop. For a player who has played international cricket for so many years, it is amazing to go back and work on new shots and rebuild herself.

Special strategy for Perry

To stop Perry as a batsman, Shikha suggested that a bowler who could seam and swing late could stop Perry. Arundhati Reddy had done this for India in the series earlier this year. Maybe she will not play in this match. The best person to deal with Perry would be Mr Charani. She is bowling brilliantly.

Giving her opinion on India’s batting, Shikha opened Shefali Verma And emphasized on the competition between the bowlers starting with the new ball for Australia. He said that Australia has many options to test Shefali.

‘Kim Garth can change the results’

Shikha said that Kim Garth is a very capable fast bowler. Kim Garth and Sophie Molineux have been opening the bowling mostly for Australia. They have also made one change, bringing in young left-arm medium pacer Lucy Hamilton. If Hamilton plays, she will probably use short-pitched balls against Shafali. The short pitch has troubled him in some matches.
