Continuous rains came back into play when the first T20 between Australian women and Indian women was canceled. India was 131/4 in 15.2 overs when the rain gods came in.
A confident Indian women’s cricket team will hope to bring their ODI and test form to the three-game international T20 series against the Australian women’s cricket team. The T20 series, which begins today, will be played in Carrara in Gold Coast, Queensland. The one-time Pink Ball test between AUS vs IND was also held here. It ended in a draw but India got the upper hand in the historical test, much of which was lost to bad weather. Australian and Indian women have more or less divided in the last five T20 internationals. The final game between AUs and IND was played on March 8, 2020, where the Aussies beat India by 85 runs in the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Indian women won’t have happy memories of this game after knocking out for 99 and chasing Australia’s 184 for four. This time the Indians look good and with a fit Harmanpreet Kaur she has some in form players like Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma in the shortest format of the game, on whom she can count.

Neither team asked for that. The game was canceled due to continuous rain. The rain didn’t stop in time for Australia’s innings to begin before the cut-off. India and Australia both get 1 point and the multi-format scorecard now stands at 7-5 for Australia.
