Preview

Australia Women and India Women will face off in the first T20I on 15 February. Sophie Molineux will captain the Australian side, and they have a very strong squad for this series. They will be keen to put the World Cup heartbreak behind them and focus on doing well here.
On the other hand, India Women will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur and have a good squad, with most senior players available. The good news for India is the current form of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. The two experienced players were also the top run-scorers in the Women’s Premier League 2026, scoring 377 from 9 innings and 342 from 8 innings, respectively. This should be a closely fought game, and we can expect plenty of fireworks.
