AU-W vs EN-W Dream11 Prediction: A mind-boggling display from Australia Women in the first ODI ensured that the hosts retain the Womens Ashes by 2-0, and with that, the Meg Lanning-led side has an opportunity at hand to enforce a white-wash in the 3-match ODI series, the second of which would be played at Junction Oval on Sunday. Inspite of a few hiccups in the batting line-up, Australia managed to post a competitive total, riding on the knock of Beth Mooney, who added 73 runs to the team’s 205-run total. Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown, Jess Jonassen, and Tahlia McGrath came up with laud-worthy performances in the second innings to wind up the English tally by 178 runs, thereby sealing a 27-run triumph in the previous one-dayer. For the England Women, all that can be said is that they still have a couple of matches left in the series that they could put to best use to finish the tour on a positive note. Batting turned out to be the Achilles heel for the visitors in the last match, which is something they’d surely be working upon ahead of this encounter.

Beth Mooney Stats in ODI
If not for the middle-order batter’s gritty 73 that eventually got her the Player of the Match award, perhaps Australia Women would’ve tasted a defeat the first ODI. The right-hander showcased a matured approach to coast her way to her 10th ODI fifty against a competent English attack, something she’d be backing herself to emulate once more in the must-win outing.
Meg Lanning Stats in ODI
The skipper had an off-day in the previous match, nonetheless, she could be backed to come back stronger and offer a match-winning show in the second ODI to seal the fate of the 3-match series. The No.3 batter is one of the best in the world in the limited-overs format, and surely someone of her expertise, who knows how to pace her innings and build valuable partnerships, has to have her name in the fantasy line-up.

Katherine Brunt Stats in ODI
The all-rounder had a perfect outing with the ball, as she picked up figures of 3/40 including a maiden to her name, and even came up handy 32 runs with the willow down the order, though in a losing cause for the English side. Her experience and proficiency in this format of the game could be of great aid to the visitors in the much-win feud.
Natalie Sciver Stats in ODI
A right-arm medium, Sciver missed out on any wickets in the last match but she compensated with a well-deserved 45 to take the English total close to 180. All-rounders are always integral from a fantasy point of view, and for someone of Sciver’s caliber in the line-up, who could offer points for her all-round contributions, she comes as a certain pick as a captain or vice-captain for this matchup.
For Australia Women, what’s really laudable is how they managed to forge partnerships inspite of losing wickets and eventually cruising their way to a competitive total. Just imagine how competent they’d be if the likes of Allysa Healy, Meg Lanning, and Ellyse Perry rose up to the occasion. Bowlingwise, they were heads and shoulders above their rivals, which was evident from the show exhibited by pacers Darcie Brown and Megan Schutt and spinner Jess Jonassen, and thus, the trio could be vouched to render a similar performance in the forthcoming duel. Even if England Women have the bowlers to ge the job done, a faulty show with the bat could hand them another defeat in the next one-dayer. As per AU-W vs EN-W today match prediction and Australia Women vs England Women cricket betting tips, Australia Women have been backed as the favorites for this match.
