Australia bounced back strongly in the 2nd T20I, leveling the series with a 19‑run win and restoring confidence in home conditions.
Australia Women remain the more complete unit at home, with greater depth in both batting and bowling, and a superior recent record against India in Australia.
Adelaide Oval historically favors teams with solid pace attacks and strong top orders, both of which Australia possess in abundance.
AUS-W vs IND-W Betting Tips
Australia Women to score over six runs in the 1st over
Australia’s top order is in good touch again, with Georgia Voll coming off a match‑winning 88 off 57 balls in the second T20I and Beth Mooney consistently providing stability at the top. At Adelaide Oval, with true bounce and fast outfield, this aggressive pair is well‑placed to target the new ball from the outset and push the scoring rate above a run‑a‑ball immediately.
1st dismissal method to be 'Caught'
Both teams employ an attacking approach in the powerplay, frequently hitting on the up and over the infield to maximize scoring in the first six overs. With Adelaide Oval offering carry for the seamers, mistimed lofted strokes and edges into the ring or to boundary riders are highly likely, making a catch the most probable first mode of dismissal.

AUS-W vs IND-W Team Previews
Australia Women
Australia showed their champion mentality in the second T20I, posting 163/5 thanks largely to a superb 88 off 57 balls from Georgia Voll, who anchored and accelerated the innings brilliantly. Beth Mooney remains central to the batting plans at the top, with her ability to rotate strike and bat deep allowing stroke‑players like Grace Harris and Ashleigh Gardner to attack around her.
With the ball, Australia’s attack is well suited to Adelaide’s conditions, combining pace and accuracy from the likes of Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown with the variations of Annabel Sutherland and the spin threat of Sophie Molineux and Georgia Wareham.
In the second T20I, Ashleigh Gardner’s 3/22 highlighted how Australia can squeeze India in the middle overs, forcing mistakes and creating wicket‑taking pressure. Expect them to stick with an attacking mindset, using early seam movement before turning to spin to control the run rate.
Australia Women Expected Playing 11
Beth Mooney (wk), Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Ashleigh Gardner, Grace Harris, Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Molineux (c), Georgia Wareham, Megan Schutt.

India Women
India were in a strong position at various stages in the second T20I chase but suffered a dramatic collapse, losing six wickets for 24 runs in the final four overs to finish on 144/9 chasing 164. Harmanpreet Kaur top‑scored with 36 off 30 balls, while the likes of Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana again showed their ability to score freely in the powerplay.
With the ball, Arundhati Reddy has been the standout across the series, backing up her 4/22 in the first game with another disciplined spell of 2/30 in Canberra, and she will once more be crucial with the new ball at Adelaide. Deepti Sharma and Shree Charani will handle middle‑overs control, aiming to restrict Australia’s powerful middle order and create chances through pressure.
India’s challenge will be to marry their aggressive batting approach with better game management at the death, particularly in a high‑pressure decider.
India Women Expected Playing 11
Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh.
AUS-W vs IND-W Toss Prediction
Adelaide Oval in T20Is often sees competitive first‑innings totals, with conditions generally good for batting but offering early assistance to seamers. Captains here frequently prefer to bowl first in night games to gauge conditions under lights and then chase with the pitch settling and data on par scores in hand.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Adelaide Oval is typically a balanced surface with a true pitch and quick outfield, rewarding proper stroke play while still offering early seam movement with the new ball. The average first‑innings T20 score at the venue hovers in the mid‑140s to 150s, but stronger batting units can push totals towards 165–175 if wickets are preserved.
Weather in Adelaide is expected to be clear and warm around match time, with no significant rain forecast, so a full 40‑over contest is likely.
AUS-W vs IND-W : Who Will Win?
India have shown they can match Australia in bursts, with a composed DLS win in the opener and long stretches of dominance in the second game before their late collapse. However, Australia’s experience in home deciders, deeper batting lineup, and better‑balanced bowling attack tailored to Adelaide conditions give them the edge in this winner‑takes‑all clash.
We expect Australia Women to handle the pressure moments better and close out the series 2‑1.
Bet on Australia Women to win.
