The stage is set for a thrilling climax! The third and final One-Day International between India Women and Australia Women is currently underway in New Delhi on Saturday, September 20, 2025. With the series perfectly poised at 1-1, both teams are vying for supremacy in this highly anticipated decider.
Australian captain Alyssa Healy won the crucial toss and, without hesitation, chose to bat first. Her decision comes after a gripping series that saw Australia claim the opening ODI by eight wickets, only for India to bounce back with a historic 102-run victory in the second match held in Mullanpur.
For this pivotal encounter, the Indian team has opted for consistency, retaining their winning playing XI from the previous match. In contrast, the visitors, Australia, have made a couple of strategic changes to their lineup, bringing in Kim Garth and Grace Harris, who replace Darcie Brown and Annabel Sutherland respectively. These changes signal Australia’s intent to clinch the series on Indian soil.
Teams in Action:
India: Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (captain), Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh (wicket-keeper), Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Sneh Rana, Kranti Goud, and Renuka Singh.
