The spotlight now shifts to Brisbane as the Australia women’s cricket team host the India women’s cricket team in the first ODI of their multi-format tour on Tuesday, 24 February 2026. After a gripping three-match T20I series that kept fans on the edge of their seats, both teams now transition to the 50-over format, aiming to build early momentum in the ODI leg of the tour.
India entered the T20I series with confidence and clinched the opener by 21 runs via the DLS method in a rain-affected encounter. Australia bounced back strongly in the second match, securing a 19 runs victory to level the series. However, India held their nerve in the decider, producing a clinical performance to win by 17 runs and seal the T20I series 2-1. With the shortest format settled, the focus now turns to the longer format, where strategy, patience, and squad depth will play a crucial role.
