AUS-W vs NZ-W Prediction: The seven-time champion Australia will look to defend their title in the Women's World Cup 2025.
The current Women's ODI champion, Australia, will take on the current Women's T20I champion, New Zealand, in the second game of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. This match is scheduled to be held at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on October 1 (Wednesday) with a scheduled start of 3 PM IST. This game will begin the campaigns for both sides.
Australia Women recently beat India in a three-match ODI series to gain the experience and test their preparation. They have checked all the boxes, but their bowling looked slightly weaker. Can New Zealand women take it to their advantage? They also prepared well and will be looking to start the new edition with a win. We expect a tight contest here, and two great sides are set to collide.
