Smriti Mandhana’s 82 and Jemimah Rodrigues’ 59 powered India to a 17-run win in the third Women’s T20I against Australia, securing a historic 2-1 series victory and their first bilateral T20I series triumph in Australia since 2016
The Indian women’s cricket team has arrived in Australia for a multi-format series starting February 15. Harmanpreet Kaur will lead across formats, with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain. The tour includes three T20Is, three ODIs, and a one-off Test
Unlike the men's squad, which played intra-squad games in Southampton ahead of the WTC final, the women prepared only in the nets which might hurt them in the four-day game.
The Indian women are playing a Test match for the first time in seven years. The last time they played was in November 2014, when they beat South Africa in Mysore.
