India women (IN-W) will play against Australia women (AU-W) in the 18th match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024. This match will be played at the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, UAE. 

Having won two and lost one of their three games so far, India are currently positioned at the second spot in the points table. They need to win this game and then wait for the result of the New Zealand and Pakistan match to make it into the top four. 

On the other hand, Australia have won all three of their games and are currently at the top of the points table for group A. Alyssa Healy and her side will aim for a win to keep a cleansheet in the league stage and make their way into the semis. Even if they lose against India, ensuring that the margin is not too big will Australia into the next round. 

How will the Sharjah Cricket Stadium's pitch behave?

The pitch at the Sharjah cricket stadium has been a difficult one for batting. The slowness of the wicket has made it difficult for the batters to score runs on this track. The spinners have got help from this wicket and have played a big role in determining the fate of the games.
