SA-W vs AUS-W Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Womens T20 World Cup 2023
Match 15 of the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup sees South Africa Women take on Australia Women in Gqeberha on Saturday evening. South Africa Women lost their opening game of the tournament to Sri Lanka Women but responded well with a 65 run victory over New Zealand Women. Australia have played three won three so far. This match begins at St George’s Park at 19:00 local time.
South Africa Women struggled with the pressure of being the hosts in the opening game but were back to their best against New Zealand Women. However, they will need to go up a few more levels to challenge Australia Women.
Australia Women have been their usual ruthless selves in this tournament so far. They have not been tested at all yet and have plenty more depth to show off in their line-up if required.
