Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match 18, Australia-W vs India-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between AUS-W vs IND-W?

Mighty Australia Women (AUS-W) will take on India Women (IND-W) in Match 18 of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on October 13. 

The Alyssa Healy-led side have been playing like a champion side in the tournament so far. The Aussie Women have featured in three games and have come out victorious in all three instances. With one foot in the semi-finals, Australia will not look to change much and play the same brand of cricket against India.

On the other hand, the Women in Blue have fought their way back for a spot in the semi-finals. After suffering a defeat against New Zealand in their opener, India came on top against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, respectively.  Win in the upcoming game is very important for the side as they are still doubtful for qualifying for the knockout stage. India needs to not only register a win but also keep their NRR in check as New Zealand is the third team that is searching for a semi-final birth and has two more games to play.
