After a thrilling opening contest, Australia A Women and India A Women are set to lock horns once again in the second One-Dayer. In the first match, India A chased down Australia’s 214 with three wickets in hand, riding on Yastika Bhatia’s fluent 59, Shafali Verma’s aggressive 36, and Dhara Gujjar’s composed 31. Earlier, Australia’s innings was anchored by Anika Learoyd’s unbeaten 92* and Rachel Trenaman’s steady 51, but India’s bowling unit, led by Radha Yadav (3/45) and Titas Sadhu (2/37), ensured the target remained in reach. With both sides eager to stamp their authority, the stage is set for another exciting clash in the 2nd 50-0ver contest.
Head-to-Head
Matches played: 35
Australia won: 26
India won: 7
Australia A Women have long held the upper hand in this rivalry, securing 26 wins in 35 encounters and establishing themselves as the more consistent side. Their ability to maintain discipline with the ball and build partnerships with the bat has often proved too much for India A Women to overcome. In contrast, India A’s 7 victories have generally come through moments of brilliance from individual players rather than sustained dominance across matches.
However, the opening One-Dayer of the current series told a different story. Batting first, Australia A posted a competitive 214. But India’s bowlers kept chipping away at key moments, with crucial breakthroughs. In reply, India A showed resilience and composure under pressure. Their combined efforts ensured the visitors crossed the line with three wickets in hand, claiming a morale-boosting victory and reminding Australia A that the contest is far from one-sided.
