Australia vs Malawi prediction

Australia and England may well meet again down the stretch when medals are at stake but in the group stage, they had their first encounter and of no surprise to many, the Diamonds came out on top in convincing fashion. Sophie Garbin had a 41-point game as Australia won 66-47. They sit top of the group with a perfect record and now face a dangerous but inconsistent Malawi.

After getting their first points on the board by beating Northern Ireland, Malawi’s defence had a bad off-day as they were taken down by England, who took them for 73 points. Australia may well take them for a lot more and it would be a huge shock if the world champions did not pick up another resounding victory here.
