Why Australia Are Heavy Favourites
Australia have been ruthless — crushing South Africa by 65 runs and then dismantling Bangladesh by nine wickets with overs to spare. Their net run rate sits at a tournament-best +3.875. Leg-spinner Georgia Wareham has been a revelation with the ball, while Ellyse Perry continues her all-round brilliance with runs and wickets alike.
Netherlands: Fighting an Uphill Battle
The Dutch have lost both their matches so far, including a 95-run thrashing by India. Captain Babette de Leede remains their one consistent bright spot, having notched a battling half-century earlier in the tournament. Heather Siegers adds depth, but the bowling attack will need something special to contain Australia’s firepower.
Predicted Playing XIs
Australia Women: Beth Mooney (WK), Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, Phoebe Litchfield/Grace Harris, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Sophie Molineux (C), Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt
