IND vs AUS Winning Prediction – Who Will Win?
India has a stronger squad with an experienced bowling attack and a deep batting lineup. Australia, on the other hand, is missing key bowlers like Starc, Cummins, and Hazlewood, which weakens their attack. Given the pitch conditions and recent performances, India is the favourite to win and reach the final.
Prediction: India to win!
