AUS-W vs NZ-W Match Prediction

Australia Women have been one of the top teams in the Women’s T20 competition at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. They began their campaign with a win against India Women. The Aussies then beat Barbados and Pakistan as well and are unbeaten in the competition. They have dominated and will look to continue their golden run.

New Zealand Women suffered a heavy loss against England Women in their previous game. It was a batting failure and they will have to regroup themselves quickly. The White Ferns will have to put up a solid all-round effort if they are to beat a red-hot Australian side in the semi-final.

Prediction: Australia Women to win this encounter.
