India Women will be donning a custom pink-themed jerseys for their third and final ODI of the 50-over series against Australia Women. The match is scheduled to be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, September 20. The series hangs in the balance as both teams head into the third ODI with one win apiece.

The likes of Harmanpreet Kaur, Sneh Rana and Pratika Rawal highlighted the importance of spreading breast cancer awareness and the need of regular screenings for early detection, urging people to cultivate this life-saving habit to make the world a better space.

Speaking of how the series has panned out so far, the first clash played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh went in the favour of the touring team as India ended up scoring only 281/7 despite a 114-run opening stand between Rawal (64 off 96) and Smriti Mandhana (58 off 63). Phoebe Litchfield set up the run-chase with a dynamic 80-ball 88 and was awarded the Player of the Match accolade as the visitors won by a convincing eight-wicket margin with 35 balls to spare.
