In the final ODI match, Australia women are up against India women at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. After losing the T20I series, the hosts took complete control over the ODIs and won the first two games. The last game is played on March 1, which is also the final ODI game for Alyssa Healy. Australia's captain is retiring from international cricket and has announced that this will be her last series. 

After having an illustrious career, she has finally bid farewell to the game. Healy will also play the one-off Test match against India, starting from March 6. She made her international debut in 2010 against New Zealand. When Healy joined the team, she was a 19-year-old player, but as she leaves the team, she is a successful captain across formats. 

After Meg Lanning, Healy took on Australia's captaincy. She went on to win the Belinda Clark Award in 2019 and two ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year honours (2018 and 2019). Interestingly, she was part of eight ICC World Cup-winning (six T20 and two ODI) editions and holds several records, including the highest individual score in a World Cup final and the most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in women's T20Is.

She received a guard of honor from the Indian team as she walked out to bat one last time in her ODI career. As we write, Healy has slammed a half-century against India and is likely to target a century as well.

When asked about her retirement at the toss, she said, "I guess, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what these colours have meant over a long period of time and the amazing things that we’ve achieved over that period. So look, come the end of next week, I’m sure I’ll be able to reflect properly, but for now it’s about getting this series in our favour and getting one on top again."

Australia to bat first against India in 3rd ODI

The Indian women's team skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the final ODI match. After losing the series, India have one last chance to avoid a series whitewash. It will be quite humiliating since they are the World Champions. 

Meanwhile, the Australian skipper was happy with the decision as they already have the series under their name. They won the first two games after losing the T20I series, 2-1. The last game will be an interesting one as Australia will try to win it for their captain. 

The 3rd ODI between Australia Women and India Women will be played on March 1. Australia Women won the second ODI match by five wickets, taking the series 2-0. India batted first and posted a total of 251 runs. Opener Pratika Rawal scored 52 runs off 81 balls, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored 54 runs off 70 balls. In the bowling department, Ash Gardner, Alana King and Annabelle Sutherland each took two wickets.

In response, Australia Women comfortably chased down the target in just 36.1 overs. Georgia Voll scored the highest runs for Australia, scoring 101 runs in 82 balls and young batter Phoebe Litchfield scored 80 runs off 62 balls.

During the match, Harmanpreet had an awkward moment. In the 39th over, she tried to play a scoop shot off Megan Schutt. The ball hit her own helmet and dropped near her. The 36-year-old scored 54 runs from 70 balls and was lucky to avoid a serious injury.

Watch the video of Harmanpreet Kaur getting hit on the helmet below:

A post shared by cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau)

What Happened During Harmanpreet’s Scoop Shot?

When Megan Schutt bowled a slower ball, Harmanpreet Kaur had already decided to play a scoop shot. She wanted to hit the ball behind the wicket because there was space. But the ball was slower and wide outside the off stump. She mistimed the shot. The ball took a small edge and hit the grill of her helmet.

The Indian captain quickly fixed her helmet and continued playing. She looked calm and did not show any worry. It was a rare and funny moment in an international match. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who was on the commentary panel, was seen laughing after watching the replay.

Australia Seal Series With Strong Chase

The match itself was serious and important. Australia were already leading the series, and India needed a strong reply. India batted first and scored 251/9 in 50 overs. Harmanpreet led the scoring with 54 runs from 70 balls, while Pratika Rawal added 52.

Australia chased the target comfortably. Georgia Voll scored 101 despite being dropped twice. Phoebe Litchfield made 80 runs with attacking shots. Voll and Litchfield added 119 runs for the second wicket. Australia reached 252/5 in just over 36 overs.

Voll hit 13 fours and one six in her 82-ball 101. Litchfield struck 11 fours and one six before getting out. Annabel Sutherland also scored a quick 48 to finish the game. For India, Sree Charani picked two wickets, but the rest of the bowlers struggled.

Australia won the match by five wickets and took a 2-0 lead in the series. The third ODI will be played on Sunday at the same ground.

Brief Scores:
India – 251/9 in 50 overs (Harmanpreet Kaur 54, Pratika Rawal 52)
Australia – 252/5 in 36.1 overs (Georgia Voll 101, Phoebe Litchfield 80)

The 2nd ODI between Australia Women and India Women will be played on February 27.  Australia Women won the first ODI match by six wickets and lead the series 1-0.

AUS-W vs IND-W Match FAQs

Australia Women are set to host India Women in the second T20I of their three match series at Manuka Oval on Thursday February 19. The visitors opened the contest in dominant fashion, securing a 21 run victory through the DLS method in a rain hit opener. After choosing to bowl first, India controlled proceedings early as their disciplined attack kept Australia under pressure. Early wickets disrupted the hosts’ rhythm, and despite brief resistance in the middle phase, the innings never gained sustained momentum at the death overs for control throughout.

Seamer Arundhati Reddy proved decisive, removing key batters in quick succession and finishing with four for 22 to claim the match award as Australia were dismissed for 133 in 18 overs. Rain then revised the chase to 30 in five overs, but India responded assertively. Shafali Verma blasted a rapid 21 while Smriti Mandhana calmly rotated strike. India surged to 50 for one in 5.1 overs before showers returned, officially sealing victory and handing the visitors a 1-0 lead. The result underlined their dominance and control throughout proceedings on tour.

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.

The Indian women's team have travelled to Australia to play a 3-match T20I series, starting on February 15 in Sydney. The World Champions are in terrific form and have performed well in the previous series as well. Now, their task will be to beat Australia in their own backyard. Meanwhile, the hosts have a stunning team as well, filled with experienced players. 

In the first match in Sydney, India's bowling unit was outstanding, bowling out Australia for just 133 runs in the first innings. It was a complete effort from the bowlers and the fielders, who ran around taking catches. One of them was taken by Harmanpreet Kaur to dismiss Ellyse Perry. 

In the 7th over, Perry was looking settled, batting on 20 off 11 balls, when Arundhati Reddy bowled a length outside off delivery which Perry tried to hit it but the ball hit the toe end of the bat and went towards the mid-off. Harmanpreet kept her eyes on the ball, covered a good part of the ground, and pulled off a stunning catch, surprising the batter.

The Indian skipper also grabbed Ashleigh Gardner's catch to send the batter back to the pavilion. It was a great effort from the skipper, inspiring the young players around her. 

Australia put up 133 runs on scoreboard in 1st T20I game

Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and asked Australia women to bat first. They started well but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Georgia Wareham scored 30 off 19 balls, including four boundaries. Meanwhile, the rest of the batters struggled to put up a decent partnership, which led to Australia's downfall. 

The visitors' bowling performance was magical in today's game. While Arundhati Reddy claimed four wickets in four overs, conceding just 22 runs, Renuka Thakur and Shree Charani picked up two wickets. Overall, they restricted Australia from forming partnerships and putting up a mammoth total on the board.

India will have to chase down the target to take a lead in the series. As we write, the match has been delayed due to rain. The ground is covered, and the rain has gotten harder. If the match is decided by DLS, India are well above the par score. 

AUS-W vs IND-W Match Preview

We are in the first match of a three-match series. Australia Women will look to take an early lead against India Women. The Australia Womenns lost their last series against India and are hoping to improve at home. The India Women will also try to recoup their series loss to Afghanistan. As both squads prepare for the coming T20 World Cup, we anticipate a close match. The Indian Women prevailed over Australia Women in the recent series. They have won six of the last 7 matches between these two teams. They've done well in the past year and have a solid batting lineup.
