India Women made history by defeating Australia in the T20I series, ending the hosts’ long unbeaten run at home. Players like Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, and Harmanpreet Kaur played key roles in that success.

AUS-W vs IND-W Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?
Both teams are strong, but Australia Women have better depth in batting and more experience in home conditions. Their pace attack is also well suited for the Gabba surface.
India Women depend heavily on their top order. If early wickets fall, they could face trouble against the Australian bowling attack.
