The highly anticipated ODI series between the India Women and Australia Women is set to commence on December 5, 2024, in Brisbane. This series marks a significant chapter in women’s cricket as both teams vie for crucial points in the ICC Women’s ODI Championship.
Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian squad has undergone some changes ahead of the series. Notably, wicketkeeper-batter Yastika Bhatia has been ruled out due to a wrist injury sustained during the Women’s Big Bash League. In her absence, uncapped player Uma Chetry has been called up to make her debut.
The Indian team has also seen the return of Harleen Deol, while frontline opener Shafali Verma has been dropped after a string of underwhelming performances. The squad is eager to build on their recent form and secure victories against their formidable rivals.
The Australian side will be captained by Tahlia McGrath, stepping in for regular captain Alyssa Healy, who is sidelined with a knee injury.
The team features a blend of experienced players and fresh talent, including 21-year-old Georgia Voll, who has received her first international call-up. Australia will look to maintain their strong home record against India.

Australia has dominated the ODI encounters between these two teams. Out of 53 matches played, Australia has won 43 while India has secured just 10 victories.
The last meeting saw Australia triumph by a significant margin of 190 runs at Wankhede Stadium earlier this year.
