Pitch Report: Dr DY Patil Sports Academy
The venue at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai has become an iconic landmark for women's cricket in the last couple of years or so. However, the ongoing World Cup marked the ODI debut for the ground.
In three games played here so far, the one between India Women and Bangladesh Women was washed out due to rain, whereas, both the remaining ones were won by the teams batting first. However, there are chances of rain on the day of the second semi-final as well, and keeping this in mind, opting to chase could be beneficial for the team winning the toss.
Weather Report
As per AccuWeather, there is 25% chance of rain during the day and night on Thursday. There is also a 4 and 3% chance of thunderstorms respectively as well. This means there could be a couple of starts and stops to the game, but a contest is all but certain. The maximum and minimum temperatures are projected to be 32 and 25-degree Celsius respectively.
Possible Lineups
India Women: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (captain), Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh (wicketkeeper), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Sneh Rana, Renuka Singh Thakur, NS Shree Charani.
Australia Women: Alyssa Healy (captain and wicketkeeper), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt.
