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

India Women will be locking horns with Australia Women in the all-important fourth T20I at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, December 17. This is a must-win encounter for the Indian eves as a loss here would mean that the Aussies would end up sealing the five-match series. 

The Indian bowlers were a bit expensive in the previous game, but tried their level best to restrict Australia to a manageable total of 172/8. However, the batters could not live up to the expectations and it was only courtesy of youngster Shafali Verma's half-century and a vital 37 from captain Kaur that India managed to cross the 150-mark. However, it was not enough as the visitors won the contest by 21 runs in the end.

The Australians, on the other hand, have showcased clinical performances throughout this series, including the second game which they lost in the Super Over. They have been excellent in all departments of the game and are currently leading the series 2-1.
