Women's Ashes 2023: ENG-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction - Who will win today's 3rd T20I match?

England are alive and kicking in the ongoing Women's Ashes 2023 after edging past arch-rivals Australia in a thrilling second T20I in London. However, Australia are still in the pole position to retain the Ashes on English soil. A narrow three-run victory helped Heather Knight's side close the gap on the visitors with four matches remaining in the series. 

Both teams will clash in the final T20I of the series at the iconic Lord's on July 8, with two crucial points up for grabs. While a win for Australia will see them take a giant leap towards securing the series, England will be keen to deny their opponents the advantage heading into the three ODIs later this month.
