AUS-W vs NZ-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Womens T20 World Cup 2023
Australia Women take on New Zealand Women on Saturday evening at Boland Park in Match 3 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. Australia Women are the current holders of the World Cup after winning as hosts in 2020. New Zealand Women have not got out of the group stage in three of the last four tournaments. Read on as we preview this Group A game. This fixture gets underway in Paarl at 19:00 local time.
With the exception of the first tournament in 2009 when they were knocked out in the semi-final, Australia Women have reached the final of every Women’s T20 World Cup and will be very confident ahead of this match.
Although New Zealand Women have not challenged for the trophy in recent competitions, they do have a good record against Australia Women. However, they will very much be the underdogs in this game.

Sophie Devine’s side have never made a Women’s T20 World Cup Final and they are not expected to do so in this year’s tournament. However, they have plenty of talent in their side and look likely to be able to field their first choice XI in this game.
