Who will win the Australia vs India AFC Asian Cup match?

There is a massive gulf between the quality of the two sides. Australia are one of the few teams that participate in the FIFA World Cup. In fact, they reached the last 16 of the previous FIFA World Cup in Qatar. On the other hand, India will try to compete strongly in this game and they would not want to be bullied in a one-sided contest. Expect Australia to win this contest.
