AUS-W vs IND-W Semi Final-I Probable Winners:

Not only have Australia Women been the most impressive side in the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup so far, they also have an excellent record over India Women. India Women would be under pressure. Their record against Australia Women hasn’t been something to take pride in. Their fast-bowling attack is weaker, a major problem for the team in these bowling conditions. However, India Women did beat them in the group stage in the last T20 World Cup and also beat them in a super-over last year. Considering the team combination, Australia-W is expected to win this match.

The Semi-Finalists gear up for what seems like a rather predicted scenario with Australia, England, India and South Africa making the top four. Australia come in as clear favorites and will be backed to give India another hiding as they did when they met in Melbourne three years ago.

India though will remember that encounter very well and will want to avoid such a scenario. Like that incident, the line-up remains pretty strong. Renuka Singh in particular enjoyed their encounter in the Commonwealth games. Performance in the big-stage though has been a concern and could be where India struggle in the upcoming game.

AUS-W vs IND-W Key Players

Renuka Singh

If anyone can put pressure on the Australians it will be Renuka Singh. She had them under pressure in their group stage back in the Commonwealth game and has made it a habit of picking up early wickets. She has evolved into a really strong wicket-taker and with a really deep batting line-up against her, India will want Renuka Singh to make early inroads.

Beth Moony

A duck in the previous game has Beth Mooney get off to a bad start to this World Cup. She is normally very consistent at the top and a good innings will extend the fear factor in a dominating Australian line-up.

AUS-W vs IND-W Match Tips

Australia are as clinical as ever in this tournament. Their line-up, depth and professionalism has been spot on. India, known to struggle in pressure games definitely come in as underdogs and will have to really dig deep to push the Australians in the upcoming game.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win the Match
