Prediction of the Series
Well, the Indian middle order will have to leave behind the bad memories of the England series and show good performance in Australia to beat the home favourites. With Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues finding their form in 2021 The Hundred competition, hope to continue that in Australia.
With the likes of the youngster Shafali Verma and Sneh Rana’s excellent performance in England, the Test Match at Bristol was drawn. Well, my prediction is that the WACA D/N Test Match will be drawn.
