Australia Women (AUS-W) will host India Women (IND-W) in the opening T20I of their multi-format series on Sunday, February 15, at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. The match signals the beginning of a new leadership chapter for Australia, with bowling all-rounder Sophie Molineux set to lead the side in international cricket. Following Alyssa Healy’s departure from captaincy, all eyes will be on Molineux as she looks to maintain Australia’s long-standing dominance in the shortest format.

India Women, meanwhile, begin their first international assignment of the year with a stern challenge against a formidable Australian outfit on home soil. Competing in Australian conditions has traditionally tested visiting sides, and the Women in Blue will need to be at their best. India also carry an underwhelming record against Australia in T20Is, a statistic they will be eager to improve. The upcoming series presents a valuable opportunity to make a strong statement early in the season.
