Women's Ashes 2023: ENG-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction - Who will win today's 1st T20I match?

After the enthralling one-off Test to mark the beginning of Women’s Ashes 2023, Australia Women (AUS-W) and England Women (ENG-W) will next lock horns in a three-match T20I series starting from Saturday, July 1 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The two teams have given a tough fight to each other in the shortest format of international cricket so far as they’ve both won 19 matches out of 39 and one has ended in no result.

Australia won the Women’s T20 World Cup earlier this year beating South Africa in the final. England’s last T20I appearance also came during the T20 World Cup 2022 where they lost to South Africa in the semi-final. Having a history of several mouthwatering battles, the two teams will once again look to give their all in the first T20I and get a lead in the three-match series.
