Australia Women outclassed India by six wickets in the series opener at Mullanpur, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. The second ODI, set for Wednesday, September 17, at the same venue, now becomes a must-win game for Harmanpreet Kaur’s side if they are to keep the series alive.

Australia Women

In the first ODI, India posted 281/7, thanks to fifties from Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal and Harleen Deol, but their bowlers faltered in the chase. Phoebe Litchfield (88), Beth Mooney (78*) and Annabel Sutherland (68*) guided Australia to a comfortable victory with a 116-run stand sealing the deal.

India Women

For India, the lack of penetration in the bowling attack remains a major concern. Renuka Singh Thakur and Sneh Rana will need early breakthroughs, while skipper Harmanpreet will hope her middle-order finds consistency. On the other hand, Australia, led by Alyssa Healy, will look to wrap up the series with another commanding show from their batting powerhouse.

With both teams brimming with talent, the second ODI promises high-quality cricket. India will need their bowlers to step up if they want to stop the Aussies from clinching the series early.

IND-W vs AUS-W Head To Head Overview

Australia Women have a massive upper hand against India Women in ODIs. Out of 57 matches played, Australia Women dominate with 47 wins, while India Women only managed 10 wins. There have been no abandoned games between them.

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium Mullanpur Pitch Report

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, is expected to favour batters in the upcoming India vs Australia women’s ODI. The fresh ball could generate a bit of movement during the initial overs, but the pitch’s consistent bounce and pace should largely support fluent stroke play. 

Spin is not likely to have much impact, meaning the responsibility will fall on the fast bowlers to maintain tight lines and rely on variations, especially through the middle phase and at the death.
