Table of Contents

The third and final ODI between India Women and Australia Women will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on Saturday. With the series tied 1-1, this fixture serves as the decider in what has been an enthralling contest so far. For Harmanpreet Kaur’s Team India, a win would secure a historic bilateral series victory over the Aussies, a side that has traditionally dominated with 47 wins in 58 ODIs.

In the series opner, Alyss Healy’s Australia showcased their depth by comfortably chasing a 281-run target. Phoebe Litchfield’s fluent 88 anchored the innings, while an unbeaten stand between Beth Mooney and Annabel Sutherland sealed a comprehensive win.

India responded brilliantly in the second ODI with a commanding 102-run win. Smriti Mandhana’s sublime 117 was the highlight, supported by disciplined contributions from the middle order. On the bowling front, Kranti Goud’s 3/28 broke Australia’s resistance and ensured India leveled the series in emphatic style.

With the series on the line, both teams are expected to bring their best to Delhi.

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is set to favor batters in the upcoming fixture, offering a hard, dry, and flat surface that ensures true bounce and a quick outfield. Traditionally a high-scoring ground, par totals are expected to range between 240 and 260 runs, with stroke play likely to dominate the early phases of the match.

Teams batting first will have the best chance to post a challenging total, as the even bounce makes shot-making easier. However, with evening dew in Delhi, chasing sides may also gain an edge, particularly in limiting the impact of spin later on.
