IND-W vs AUS-W Live Cricket Score, India Women vs Australia Women 1st T20I Today Match
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st T20I Live Cricket Score Updates: Harmanpreet Kaur’s India will lock horns against Sophie Molineux’s Australia in the first of the three-match T20I series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Sunday. This is the first game India will play after they thrashed Sri Lanka at the end of last year in a five-match series.
Young Vaishnavi Sharma had been the find of that series, and India will be looking to test their strengths further against Australia going into the 2026 T20 World Cup later this year. Australia, on the other hand, will have a new captain in the shortest format, with Alyssa Healy announcing her retirement (she will still play in the ODIs and one-off Test).
