India Women vs Australia Women Team Preview & Squads
India Women
Under Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership, IND continues to evolve as a competitive force in world cricket. Kaur’s aggressive instincts and emotional intensity often mirror India’s on-field temperament.
IND batting unit revolves around the dependable Smriti Mandhana, the inventive Jemimah Rodrigues, and the power-hitting of Richa Ghosh. The addition of all-rounders like Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur gives flexibility in the lower-middle order. However, India’s ability to handle Australia’s pace and bounce will define their success.
Led by Renuka Singh’s swing and Sneh Rana’s control, India’s attack has the tools to trouble top sides. Radha Yadav’s spin offers a wicket-taking option in the middle overs, while Deepti Sharma’s economical spells provide stability.
In their previous game, India Women fell narrowly short against South Africa Women in a thriller at Visakhapatnam. India posted 251 runs, powered by Mandhana’s fluent knock, but their bowlers couldn’t seal the game as South Africa chased the target with 7 balls remaining, winning by 3 wickets. It was a spirited performance that highlighted India’s fight but also their vulnerability under pressure.

Australia Women
Alyssa Healy, both captain and wicketkeeper, brings tactical acumen and infectious energy to the side. Her attacking style sets the tone for Australia’s dominance, both behind and in front of the stumps.
AUS batting lineup remains world-class, anchored by Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry. The explosive Phoebe Litchfield and all-around prowess of Tahlia McGrath ensure Australia can accelerate at will. With depth extending to Annabel Sutherland and Ashleigh Gardner, the Aussies rarely run out of firepower.
The AUS attack blends pace and precision. Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown spearhead the pace unit with early breakthroughs, while Alana King and Georgia Wareham bring spin variety in the middle overs. Add Gardner’s off-spin and Sutherland’s seam, and you have an attack capable of adapting to any condition.
Australia Women delivered a statement performance against Pakistan Women in Colombo. Posting 221/9 on a challenging surface, they then bowled Pakistan out for 114, sealing a 107-run win. Tahlia McGrath starred with the bat, while Darcie Brown led the bowling charge.
