Australia vs South Africa prediction

Despite no Alyssa Healy, Australia made a big statement against England last time out, finding a way to win by six wickets without their in-form captain. Ashleigh Gardner stepped up with a spectacular unbeaten hundred to guide the Aussies home and she’ll likely be important again on this occasion. Since losing their first match, South Africa have won five in a row, underlining their qualities and why Australia cannot rest on their laurels.

Going into the tournament, defending champions Australia were tipped by many to win and you can see why. Not only is their batting deep, their bowling attack is stacked too with plenty of spin-bowling options to help them on these sub-continental surfaces. South Africa’s batters in particular have been incredible recently, but they may well meet their match here and backing Australia warrants consideration.
