Australia Women vs India Women Today’s Match Prediction:India Women have improved drastically in the last 3-4 years and have challenged Australia across formats. They will not be an easy opposition to roll on. India's batting is filled with match-winners with power in the middle order. If India struggle, it will be their bowling department.
They have an inexperienced bowling unit, and most of them are on their first-ever tour of Australia. There will be different bowling strategies here. On the other hand, Australia Women are very dominant at home, and they have match-winners from top to bottom. Having 4-5 genuine all-rounders also gives them a big luxury. Hence, we believe Australia Women will win this game.
