Australia Women will host India Women in the first T20I of the multi-format series on Sunday, February 15, at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. This is the start of a thrilling competition between two powerful teams in women's cricket.
Australia Women are set to begin a new chapter with a new captain, Sophie Molineux, who will lead them in the T20 format. The side has some senior players like Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, and Tahlia McGrath, and they will look to carry on their winning streak at home. Playing at home will be a big boost for them in this first match of the series.
India Women, meanwhile, start their first international assignment of the year with a tough challenge. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the team will aim to improve their record against Australia in T20Is. With key batters like Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma at the top, and bowlers such as Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma in the lineup, India will hope to put up a competitive performance.
