AUS-W vs IND-W Betting Tips
Australia Women to score over six runs in the 1st over
Despite a quiet start in the first game, Australia’s top order boasts immense quality in Beth Mooney, Georgia Voll, and Phoebe Litchfield. These batters are in terrific form and will look to dominate from ball one to set a positive tone early in the innings.
1st dismissal method to be 'Caught'
In T20 cricket, openers often look to exploit the powerplay restrictions by hitting over the infield. This aggressive approach increases the likelihood of mistiming a shot and being caught by a fielder inside the ring or on the boundary.

AUS-W vs IND-W Team Previews
Australia Women
After appearing invincible for much of the last year, Australia was caught off guard in the first T20I. Although rain cut the match short, India had clearly gained the upper hand. Australia struggled with the bat, posting just 133 all out in 20 overs. Georgia Wareham top-scored with a brisk 30 off 19 balls, but the top order failed to convert starts.
Sophie Molineux was the lone wicket-taker for Australia before the rain arrived. With the bat, Beth Mooney remains the key, boasting 445 runs in her last 10 games at an average of 55.63. Georgia Voll is another threat, accumulating 228 runs in her last 7 matches at a strike rate of 147.09.
With the ball, Annabel Sutherland leads the attack with 17 wickets in her last 9 games (strike rate 10.64). Georgia Wareham provides excellent support, taking 10 wickets in her last 9 outings.

India Women
India’s disciplined bowling set up their surprise win in the series opener. Restricting Australia to 133 was a massive achievement, and at 50/1 in 5.1 overs, they were cruising when rain stopped play.
Arundhati Reddy was the star with the ball, claiming 4 wickets for 22 runs. She was ably supported by Renuka Singh and Shree Charani, who took two wickets each. In the chase, Shafali Verma provided a blistering start, scoring 21 off 11 balls, including two sixes.
Shafali remains a dangerous player, with 418 runs in her last 10 matches at a strike rate of 179.39. Smriti Mandhana adds stability, having scored 245 runs in her last 9 games. Deepti Sharma (13 wickets in last 9 games) and Shree Charani (13 wickets in last 10 games) will be key to containing Australia again.
India Women Expected Playing 11

AUS-W vs IND-W Toss Prediction
Manuka Oval has hosted 17 Women’s T20Is, with results evenly split between teams batting first and chasing. Given modern T20 trends, the captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first to gauge the target and conditions.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Manuka Oval is generally balanced, offering something for both batters and bowlers. Seamers can expect early movement, but once batters settle, scoring becomes easier. It is typically a medium-scoring ground.
The weather forecast is clear, with temperatures around 25°C, ensuring uninterrupted play.
AUS-W vs IND-W : Who Will Win?
India’s performance in the first T20I was commendable and will boost their confidence significantly. However, Australia rarely stays down for long. They possess a deep batting lineup and a varied bowling attack perfectly suited to home conditions. We expect the hosts to bounce back strongly and level the series.
Bet on Australia Women to win.
