Australia v India predictions, tips and odds analysis, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 betting

Welcome to our Australia vs India predictions, tips and odds update. Australia are short-priced favourites in betting to defeat India in the opening T20 Women’s World Cup clash at Spotless Stadium, Sydney, on Friday.

The Aussies have been priced as short as 1.30 with some cricket betting sites, while India’s odds are around the 2.25 quote.

The Australian Women’s team recorded a morale-boosting tri-series victory against India last week, although they did drop a game to the dangerous outfit, to show they are beatable.

The entire betting landscape of the T20 Women’s World Cup would shift if India caused an upset in this one, with Australia the 1.57 favourites to win the tournament, with India the outright third favourites at 7.50.

The raps on India have eased slightly after their batting frailties were exposes against the talented Aussies, but there is little doubt that if a player such as 15-year-old Shafali Verma fires at the top of the order they could win.

Below you will find Aus v Ind odds, tips and match predictions, which will be updated as the starting day draws closer. Happy punting!

Australia vs India predictions

Ahead of this Aus v India T20 World Women’s World Cup match the World Gambling List has scoured the form and betting markets and found some enticing wagering options.

Beth Mooney to top-score for Australia

Mooney is often the difference between Australia winning and losing and deservedly is the favourite to top the runs at the T20 W World Cup. Mooney is favourite to top score for the Aussies against India, but at 4.70 with Betway still offers significant value for punters, and we feel after a rare failure last start she will be primed to start the tournament well.

Harmanpreet Kaur top run-scorer for India

Harmanpreet, the Indian captain, almost single-handedly kept the Indians in the contest against Australia in the final of the tri-series, with 28 from 32 balls batting at no.5. With Australia boasting powerful new ball bowlers we think Harmanpreet might get another opportunity to shine, this time on the biggest stage of all: the T20 World Cup for women. Harmanpreet has an average of over 28 at T20I level, which is outstanding.

Ellyse Perry to win player of the match

Australia’s star all-rounder Ellyse Perry looks to be in fine form ahead of the T20 World Cup W, and is figuring prominently in all player-of-the-tournament betting markets. Perry crunched 49 and took four wickets last time out against India and we’re tipping her form to continue.

Australia v India Prediction

We’re expecting an absorbing clash between Australia and India, but we are predicting Australia will have too much firepower and get their tournament off to a perfect start at home, with Beth Mooney hitting the winning runs. If you are looking for more value in betting than backing the Aussies head to head, we’re very confident in Perry’s all-round abilities; it’s unlikely she won’t feature prominently when Australia win in both the batting and bowling.
