Ahead of the much-anticipated final against India on Sunday in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup, Australia's Megan Schutt has a clear plea to skipper Meg Lanning -- she doesn't want to bowl to Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. Schutt bore the brunt of Verma and Mandhana's attacking cricket in the very first over during last month's tri-series, dispatched for a four by the teenager on the very first ball and hit for a six by Mandhana. Excitement abounds for the MCG showdown but Schutt admits she quakes at the sight of India's top-order big guns, who flayed her for 16 runs in her opening over of the tournament.

"I just hate playing India -- they've got the wood on me," she said. "Smriti and Verma have got me covered. That six in the tri-series was probably the biggest one I've ever been hit for. "There are obviously some plans we're going to revisit as bowlers. Clearly, I'm not the best match-up to those two in the powerplay. They find me quite easy to play," she added.
