IND-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between India Women and Australia Women?

India Women will be facing Australia Women at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday, December 14. The five-match series is currently tied at 1-1 and both teams would be hoping to play an aggressive brand of cricket to strengthen their lead.

The Indian eves staged a remarkable comeback to level the series in the last game. Chasing a stiff target of 188, sensational opener Smriti Mandhana kept the hosts in the hunt with a brilliant knock of 79 runs from 49 deliveries, which eventually ensured that the scores were level. Mandhana then helped India in getting to 20/1 in the Super Over after which pacer Renuka Singh Thakur took up the responsibility with the ball in hand and helped the hosts come out on top by four runs.

Meanwhile, the Australian team would be eager to make a strong statement after they were handed their first WT20I defeat in 2022. The Aussies, who won the Women’s ODI World Cup and then went on to bag gold at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, know how to handle pressure when challenged and one can expect them to come out all guns blazing in this contest.
