The spotlight now shifts to the second ODI after Australia secured a convincing win in the series opener against India at the AB Field. In the first ODI of the multi-format tour, the Australia women’s cricket team delivered a clinical all-round performance to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
India were bowled out for 214 in 48.3 overs after opting to bat, with Australia’s disciplined bowling attack keeping the visitors under constant pressure. In response, Australia chased down the target comfortably in 38.2 overs, reaching 217/4 and sealing the match by six wickets with 70 balls to spare.
With two ODIs still to be played, India will look to bounce back and level the series, while Australia aims to continue their dominance and seal the series early.
