AUS-W vs IND-W Probable Winners:

This should be a close match between the two teams. Australia would be full of confidence after their last win, which featured Georgia Voll's explosive 88 and Ashleigh Gardner's all-round performance (3/22). India started well but lost focus in the middle. The flat pitch encourages batting, and dew helps the chasing side. However, Australia is slightly favoured to win due to its home advantage. Considering the team combination, Australia Women is expected to win this match.
