If Australia can't give at least 250+ target then their chances of winning are very slim.

Confident team or not, 250 is not an easy target to chase in 4th inning because the pitch will deteriorate.

I think even 150 would be a very competitive target, but first Australia needs to touch the 330 mark. Also in Women's test cricket, we have only 4 days, not 5 so the Aussies need to keep up with the RR as well if they want results in their favor. 

[CryptoBuds]

I was thinking that hardly the Indian women team will reach to 350 runs but Pooja Vastrakar and Deepti Sharma both bowlers pull the score above 400. Pooja Vastrakar Also collected 4 wickets in first innings.
And now Australian women team is playing. They have lost 3 wickets on 142 runs they have trial of 45 runs. I think Australia will give almost 150 runs lead to India and I hope that India will chase that target easily. India needs to collect more wickets if they want to win this match.

Indian team is doing the right thing they are not allowing any Australian batter to settle. In second innings Australians have lost 3 wickets and they are still 31 runs behind Indian first innings total of 406. Its tea of day three and we have 2 more days to go so defiantly we will see a result. 150 wont be enough target to win the game, Australians need to give a target of around 300 to remain in the match which seems not possible at the moment.

The Australian team managed to take the lead. Australia managed to collect 200 runs losing only three wickets. And now they are leading by 13 runs. Tahlia McGrath is batting very responsibly. He collected 70 runs from 167 balls. And Healy collected 22 runs from 72 balls. If these two batsmen survive at the crease, I think Australia can give a target of 200. If Australia can score 400+ in the second innings, they have more chances to win. But if the target is like 120-150 then India will win. We got to see very good batting from the Indian batsmen in the first innings.

One off test Australia women on 156/3 in 50 overs Aus-W are trail by 31 runs and 7 wickets in hand now and 2nd session has ended of 3rd day indian women lead 187 runs to Australia women in 1st innings. indian women are more chances to win the test because Aus-w are 47 runs behind now and three wickets lost its very difficult for Australia to set a target of 250 runs indian-W team need to takes wickets on last session of day 3 because tomorrow is last day and its impossible for both teams to play on last day and test would have draw

India very much in control at the moment. Kaur just picked key Australian wicket of Tahlia McGrath. Indian bowlers are very much successful in there strategy of not allowing any Australian batter to settle on the crease. Just when Tahlia McGrath was looking dangerous she was picked up by Kaur. At the moment Australian women lead is just 28 runs and they have only 6 wickets left. Looks like India has to chase a target of 150.

The match of Pakistan and Victoria 11 was not in the best of postion for Pakistan, The Pakistan team were all out on 323 runs. They are trying to build a grip for more runs but the Pakistan team's luck is not good so that's why they are all out on just some runs and cannot make a partnership, but Australian bowlers direct attack on their wickets so we cannot see the batting of Pakistan. 

If Pakistan team cannot beat Victoria 11 then very hard for this team to beat Australian real team who are in very good practice. Pakistan bowling is not good am, cannot have a different varieties to take wickets. Fielding management and bowling strategy also play role in taking wickets and It is bad captaincy from Pakistani skipper. If we compare current team with Victoria then it is obvious that Pakistan performance is much weaker and need to be improved for tomorrow match  to level the series.

End of 3 day today of this One off test game Australia women team Vs India-W team. Australia-W team lead with 46 runs and q st inning of India-W team was very good and they scored 406 runs. S.Mandhana scored 74 runs in 106 balls and he hitted twelve 4s and then dismissed. R.Glosh scored 52 runs in 102 balls and he hitted seven 4s and he dismissed from pitch. D.Sharma also performed well and he scored total 78 runs after dismissed from ground. Australia-W team 2 nd inning was unfinished and Australia-W team dismissed total 5 batsman and scored 233 runs in 90 overs. T.McGarth scored well and total 73 runs made in 177 balls with ten 4s. At present time, India-W team in good condition and their innings going very good and have high chance to win this match.

India Women's team managed to add just thirty runs on the third day, with a lead of 187 runs. Australia Women's team went into bat in the second innings on the third day with 233 for 5, ending the third day's play. Australia women's team leads by 46 runs so far. Australia Women are now under a lot of pressure as their first five top-order batsmen are out, with Tahlia McGrath getting out for a personal 73. The first session tomorrow is very important for the India women's team as if they can drop a wicket early in the day then the match will go in India's favour. Probably so! We can expect the results of this test by the second session.

[Out of mind]

The Australian team managed to take the lead. Australia managed to collect 200 runs losing only three wickets. And now they are leading by 13 runs. Tahlia McGrath is batting very responsibly. He collected 70 runs from 167 balls. And Healy collected 22 runs from 72 balls. If these two batsmen survive at the crease, I think Australia can give a target of 200.

At the moment Australian women lead is just 28 runs and they have only 6 wickets left. Looks like India has to chase a target of 150.  

 

We saw that India women's team gave a lead of 157 runs to Australia women's team yesterday. And the Australia women's team came on the second day to fill the lead given by India, and they have lost 5 wickets so far. Australia's women's performance needs to improve as they have scored only 46 runs so far. Australia has given 46 runs after meeting the target of 157 runs given by India. However, to win the match against India, the Australia women's team must give a huge lead of 300, only then it can be possible for the Australia women's team to win the match.

[Patrol69]

Australia women's team did not collect much in the first innings compared to the Indian team and India ended the first innings game with a huge lead in the first innings. Between the first and second innings, Australia lead India by just 46 runs. The third day's play is underway, Australia women's team has already lost 5 wickets in the second innings so if India wants to win this test match easily then the 5 unbeaten wickets need to fall quickly. If the Indian women's team picks up 5 wickets quickly, they will surely win this match against Australia with one day in hand. 

According to the performance of the batsmen of the Indian women team in the first innings, the Indian women team must be kept ahead for this test match.

Fielding management and bowling strategy also play role in taking wickets and It is bad captaincy from Pakistani skipper. If we compare current team with Victoria then it is obvious that Pakistan performance is much weaker and need to be improved for tomorrow match  to level the series.

The match was drawn of Pakistan vs Victoria playing 11, and if this match 5 days so I am sure that the Pakistan team will lose this because Pakistan captain Shan Masood can't manage the team because he can't understand which players need rest, for example, Khuram Shehzad, now he cannot play more matches of this series.

After all, his pace fell down because he couldn't continue bowling, On the first day, he did the bowling of 135 or 140km easily, and on the second day, he did the bowling 130km, and on the third day, he could not pick 128km so he needs rest but Shan Masood tell that Babar needs rest.

According to the performance of the batsmen of the Indian women team in the first innings, the Indian women team must be kept ahead for this test match.

India women's batting is much better than Australia women's team India women's team scored 406 runs in the first innings. And the Australian women's team was all out for just 219 runs in the first innings, followed by a collection of 233 runs for 5 wickets in the second innings. Australia gave India a lead of 46 runs and now it remains to be seen how many more runs the Australian women's team can score. I think the Australian women's team can give a lead of 200 runs. If India gives a lead of 200 runs to the women's team, they will collect 200 runs very well.

In this match and in the first innings of Pakistan Muhammad Rizwan played very well but unfortunately, he was injured and that's why the Pakistan team came into trouble, and Saud Shakeel also played well with him, they both made a partnership but some miracle happened and both have been injured, the main player has been injured so we don't have any hope with other players. but thankfully, that match was a tour match and just for 2 days otherwise Pakistan team would have lost this match, and Saud Shakeel also played well with him, they both partnership but some bad luck happened and both were injured.

The second test match between Pakistan and Australia will start on this Tuesday, 26 December in Melbourne. Looking at the current performances and trouble in the Pakistan team, it will be hard for them to win or even draw that test too.

[JSRAW]

Going by the average overs quota of this test match, we should easily get the full 90 overs including innings breaks.

The Aussie lead is 46 runs and 5 down. Most of the time they aim for the result with their positive cricket but this time, not much gas left in the tank so they might try to bat at least 40 more overs and add maybe 100-120 runs more on the scoreboard (anything above is just bonus), given the last 5 wickets are contributing some runs. Aussie Tail is not your typical tail and they can frustrate the opposition, worse if Kim Garth also digs in but if the ball starts spinning then Indian team is in luck, so the Sutherland-Gardner partnership will be key as both of em are all rounders and so far looked alright.

India will only hope to wrap up 3rd inning ASAP, better if it's in the first hour.

I do not think Pakistan is going to be able to perform well enough in the next match as well. Pakistan was beaten very badly by Australia in the last match. Pakistan did not even stand a chance. I think Pakistan is going to learn from their mistakes and try to correct things. But I don't know how effective they are going to be. I definitely am not expecting Pakistan to show any surprises. I think as usual it is going to be a win for Australia. Probably not as big as the last one. But it is going to be a win in my opinion.

200 target is really impossible to post by AUSW from current match scenario and I doubt they can survive the first session tomorrow. Tahlia McGrath did well that helped them to reach this stage but the match is 90% in the hands of INDW by now.
If anyone missed the news about Ruturaj ruled out for the upcoming 2 match test series against SA for the finger injury and still I don't they replaced the squad with someone else, but I hope the injury is not that severe.

The number of runs that Australia leads in the second innings will be the target for India. This is the last innings of the Australia women's team but the Indian women's team still has one innings left to bat, so if the Australia women's team ends the second innings with a lead of 200 runs in their second innings, then the target for India will be 201 runs. 5 wickets fell and Australia women's team may not score too many runs on the new day which will reduce India's target. If the Australian batsmen can be kept between 200 and 250 then I think the result of this test match will go in favor of India. In this match, I saw several players of the Indian women's team batting with enough confidence, I hope they will continue their consistency in the second innings as well.

It's an interesting analysis of the current cricket match between Australia and India's women's teams. If the Australian batsmen can be restricted to a lead between 200 and 250 runs in their second innings, it seems optimistic that India might have a favorable outcome. The confidence shown by several players in the Indian women's team is indeed promising. Let's see how the match unfolds in the upcoming sessions.

[cryptoWODL]

200 target is really impossible to post by AUSW from current match scenario and I doubt they can survive the first session tomorrow. Tahlia McGrath did well that helped them to reach this stage but the match is 90% in the hands of INDW by now.

I also feel that giving a target of 200 runs is very difficult for Australia women's team.Australia Women's team batted only 219 runs all out in the first innings then Indian Women's team came to bat and played brilliantly and scored 406 runs. Australia Women opened their second innings trailing by 187 runs and amassed 233 runs for five wickets. Tahlia McGrath of Australia women's team was as good in the second innings as she was in the first innings and she was dismissed for 73 runs.

[JSRAW]

An excellent morning for Indian W. They took the last 5 wickets way too quickly and gave only 28 runs.

Now they have a chance to create history if they successfully chase down the target of 74 runs, it would be their first test win against Australia. Chase shouldn't be tough even if there is some sort of mini collapse because the target is not big.

[Bitcoin_people]

Australia Women's Team vs India Women's Team India Women's Team batting today in the fourth day's match. We saw that Australia women's team took the field against India yesterday and fulfilled the target set by India and gave India a lead of 75 runs. Today India team is going to meet that target and come out on a huge field and already they have lost an important wicket, India Women's batsman Shafali Verma got out early so today's match may be under a bit of pressure. However, they can easily fill the lead provided by Australia women's team because Australia could not give much target. And if Australia women team can perform well against India then India can put pressure on women team, but I think India women team will definitely succeed in meeting their target in today's match.
