India Women Squad: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh(w), Radha Yadav, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani, Kranti Goud, Arundhati Reddy, Renuka Singh Thakur, Uma Chetry, Sayali Satghare

India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is set to become the third Indian to feature in 150 Women's ODIs. Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami are the other two players to achieve this feat.

No doubt, they [Australia] have been very dominating. They have played well all over the world and dominated. But we are also at a stage where, as a captain, we have the belief we can beat them on any day.

This is a contest between the no. 1 ODI side, Australia, vs the no. 3 ODI side India. We're not too far from the toss, stick around.

India Women won the toss and opted to bat first. "We'll bat first. It has been a great journey for me, will continue for many years hopefully. It looks like a good batting wicket." Harmanpreet Kaur said.

Alyssa Healy said, "Not too bothered with the toss, hopefully the ball will slide through nicely later. Happy to be back in the green and golden, excited for the next 6-8 weeks. We are lucky to get this opportunity, hopefully we can work our combinations through this period."

After the national anthems, the players have taken the pitch. India, who opted to bat first, will open with Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal. Australia's bowling duties lie with Megan Schutt, who has the new ball.

A lucky inside edge allowed Pratika to get off the mark. Then, Smriti dispached the final delivery of the over through the covers, giving no chance to the fielders. First boundary of the day.

This is hte new Smriti that we are watching. In the final ball of the over, she steps out and hits it with power over mid-on, and the ball races away for another boundary.

Both Smriti and Pratika had big shots in the over, but it has been drizzling for the last few minutes, and the wettish outfield has slowed down the face of the ball. So, singles and doubles at the moment.

The openers are keeping the socreboard ticking with some classing boundaries. The Australian pacers are looking ineffective currently. They despararetly need a breakthrough.

Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal build 50-run stand for the first wicket. They have kept the run-rate around 6, and that's surely going to help them ahead in the innings.

Smriti-Pratika duo continue to score runs at a good pace. They are moving towards a 100-run opening stand now and that's not looking good for the Australian team

The openers are still dominating the innings, however, Australian know that a single breakthrough can help them to get back into the match easily and they are in search of it.

Century stand for the first wicet for India. Smriti and Pratika are now set and will aim to stitch a huge stand ahead.

Hafl-century for Smriti Mandhana. She swept towards deep backward square leg and took an easy single. She needs to convert it into a triple digit score now.

Huge Blunder!

That's what the Australians needed. The dangerous-looking Smriti Mandhana departs after being run-out. Smriti drives towards extra cover and sets off, but Pratika was hesistant - takes a start and then aborts from the single, Smriti is stranded halfway down and she tries to get back in, Litchfield does not only make a diving stop but also scores a direct-hit at the striker's end. Smriti was not even in the frame.

She seems upset with Pratika. This can be a turning point.

Mandhana's dismissal has slowed down the scoring rate of the Indian team. Pratika is now batting at a strike rate of around 70. Harleen Deol has joined her and has already hit a six.

Drinks Break!

And a much-needed especially for the Australian team in the Mullanpur heat. They have restricted India to score runs after Smriti's dismissal. They were going well above 5rpo at one stage but only 36 runs have come in the last 10 overs.

Gone!

The pressure was there already and the set batter Pratika Rawal loses her calm, ends up throwing her wicket. She goes for the slogsweep and finds deep mid-wicket. She departs after scoring 64 runs.

Captain, Harmanpreet walks into the middle.

That what we said earlier. One wicket brings another and this time it's skipper Harmanpreet. It was a slower delivery from Sutherland, Kaur gets forward to defend and misses, hit on the back leg in front of middle and the ball would have hit leg-stump flush. She wasted the review as well.

Harleen has shifted gears. She has smashed three fours and a six after Harmanpreet's dismissal. India are now closing to 200. Harleen also gets her half-century on just 50 balls.

Another set batter gone!

Harleen Deol was looking super set, scoring a brilliant half-century but ends up losing her focus. She was looking to up the rate and she falls in the process. Length just outside off, keeps a bit low, Deol comes down the track to swing to leg, misses, superb take by Healy standing up and she does the rest. She departs after scoring 54 runs.

Tahlia McGrath strikes in her first over. Richa Ghosh smashes her for a four and a six but McGrath had the last laught as she dismisses Jemimah Rodriggues on 18.

A big wicket for Australia!

Richa Ghosh wouldn't like it, she gets dismissed on a delivery she'd hit 9 out of 10 times for a six. It was a juicy full toss and she ends up finding the mid-wicket. She departs for 25.

Some classic boundaries from Radha Yadav and Deepti Sharma helps India nears to the 300-run target.

After a brillinat start from the openers, India got a late cameo from Radha Yadav and Deepti Sharma, to finish with what should be a challenging total of 281runs. For Australia, it was Meghan Schutt who was the pick of the bowlers with a couple of wickets.

We'll be back after a short break.

Welcome back.

Kranti Goud bowled the first over and looked disciplined. Just three runs in the first over and the Indian team are off to a good start.

Phoebe Litchfield was dropped by Jemimah Rodrigues in the 2nd over. And now the Indian team are paying for it, She has smashed 3 boundaries and have provided a great start to the team.

Bowled!

Kranti Goud provides first breakthroug for India. It was a length outside off, Healy gets forward to drive, but it's an angled bat and that's why the thick inside-edge goes back on to the stumps. Healy departs after scoring 27 runs.

Despite losing Healy in the 7th over, Litchfield has continued the attack on the Indian bowlers. She is batting at a strike rate of more than 100.

Things are not looking good for India now. And that dropped catch of Litchfield is now hurting the team more. She has reached her half-century and looking to score a bigger one.

Ellyse Perry walks back into the dugout. She had a calf strain and is unable to continue after trying out a few balls in the previous over. Beth Mooney replaces her.

Even though Perry retired hurt, Beth Money never let the momentum go away. On the other hand, Litchifield is nearing her century and that too with the strike rate of more than 100.

Ahh! That's heartbreaking!

Phoebe Litchfield loses her wicket on 88 runs and misses her century by just 8 runs. She was dropped on 0 and made good use of the lifeline.

Australia now need less than 100 runs to win the match and Beth Mooney is looking pretty set in the middle. India desparately need a wicket at this moment.

Beth Mooney is using her experience pretty well and knows how to take her team to the victory. She is nearing to her half-century. While the body language of the Indian bowlers isn't looking good.

The Aussies are in cruise control. Beth Mooney has raced away past the 50-run mark and is now batting at 68 off just 64 balls. Just 28 more runs needed now in the last 10 overs and the writing is on the wall for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co.

Beth Mooney 76 (71), Annabel Sutherland 50 (47).

Charani comes back into the attack and concedes 4 runs in the over.

Australia are on the verge of a one sided win.

Australia cruise to a comprehensive win, chasing 281 with 6 overs to spare.

India’s fielding woes and lack of middle-over resistance cost them as Mooney and Sutherland sealed the victory.

In 2025 India Women have just 59.7% catching efficiency in ODI's.

They have taken 40 catches but dropped 27, missed 2 stumpings, and committed 48 misfields, ranking 12th out of 14 teams this year.

This run chase marks as the fourth highest successful run-chase in Women’s ODIs history.
