The first ODI of the Australia Women tour of India series, 2025, was played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur. Australia chased down India’s total of 281/7 with ease, finishing at 282/2 in 44.1 overs. Phoebe Litchfield led the charge with a sparkling 88, supported by Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 77 and Annabel Sutherland’s 54*. India’s bowling lacked incisiveness, and fielding errors cost them crucial chances, allowing Australia to complete the fourth-highest successful chase in women’s ODIs comfortably.
In the second ODI at the same venue, India bounced back emphatically, posting a strong 292, with Smriti Mandhana scoring a brilliant 117. Australia struggled against disciplined Indian bowling, especially Kranti Goud’s 3/28, and were bundled out for 190, losing by 102 runs. This was a historic victory for India, marking their first ODI win over Australia at home in 18 years, while Australia suffered their biggest defeat by runs in women’s ODIs. The second match showcased India’s resilience and superior execution, leveling the series with a dominant win.
India Women and Australia Women are now set to face off in the ODI series decider, with the third and final match scheduled for September 20 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The match is expected to be a true decider, with the winner taking the series. The match will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and streamed live on JioHotstar.
