· The Indian Express · JoinIndia Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Beth Mooney struck a classy 76 and Alyssa Healy also scored a solid half century as Australia made the run-chase of 215 look easy, winning first ODI by six wickets with 70 balls remaining at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane on Tuesday. Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur hit half centuries while Kashvee Gautam played a lovely hand lower down the order but it was tough going for Indian batters. Pratika Rawal and Shafali Verma fell early while Jemimah Rodrigues also followed shortly. Mandhana then fell soon after getting to her half century and India struggled for momentum through the middle overs. Harmanpreet and Kashvee’s partnership for the 8th wicket managed to eventually push India past 200, and they finished on 214 all out in 48.3 overs. Ash Gardner picked up three wickets for Australia while Alana King, despite picking just one, was hard to put away for India’s batters.
The multi-format series is level at 4-4 with two wins for each teams so far, with two ODIs and one Test to follow.

Earlier, Harmanpreet Kaur opted to bat first in India’s first match after their World Cup triumph in November. After defeating Australia 2-1 in the T20I leg, India had taken a 4-2 lead (in points) in the multi-format series after winning the first and the third matchess. The Harmanpreet-led side won the rain-affected first T20I by 21 runs in Sydney before the hosts, led by a new face in Sophie Molineux, struck back in the second game in Canberra to level the series at 1-1. It was Smriti Mandhana’s classy 82 that helped India beat Australia by 17 runs in Adelaide. Read more about India’s T20I series win here.

India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS WIN BY SIX WICKETS
A supremely controlled performance by Australia at a venue where they have never lost a match (21 wins). The bowlers were superb, and Beth Mooney masterfully controlled the run-chase.
Beth Mooney: "We weren't too unhappy when they won the toss and opted to bat first. It does a little bit here."

AND ANNABEL SUTHERLAND FINISHES WITH A SIX! The star allrounder dances down and lofts Deepti Sharma over midwicket for a huge six. India comprehensively outplayed by SIX wickets and 11.4 overs to spare.
AUSTRALIA WIN FIRST ODI AND LEVEL SERIES AT 4 POINTS EACH.
Feb 24, 2026 03:45 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 211/4 after 38 ovs (Target: 215)
Charani comes on for her 9th over and gets one to turn square past Gardner's outside edge. She has been India's best bowler today but even she couldn't get that sort of purchase consistently. A three for Gardner behind square on the off side and Australia are one shot away now.
Feb 24, 2026 03:41 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 206/4 after 37 ovs (Target: 215)
Mooney won't be around to hit the winnings runs but has played a superbly calculated knock in this run-chase. Just metronomic, from the moment she walked into the middle to face a hat trick ball. Deepti slows one down, Mooney uses her feet again but this time chips it straight to the fielder at cover.
Beth Mooney c Smriti Mandhana b Deepti Sharma 76 (79 balls)
Feb 24, 2026 03:38 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 202/3 after 36 ovs (Target: 215)
Sutherland comes down the track, Shafali throws it a bit wide, but Sutherland's technique is so solid that she just plants her front foot and smashes it past mid off for four using the full reach of her long limbs. Casually picked off 9 runs in that over.
Just 13 runs needed off 14 overs.
Feb 24, 2026 03:34 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 193/3 after 35 ovs (Target: 215)
Flighted delivery from Deepti, Mooney creams this one through extra cover. Packed ringfield, there are two fielders in the deep too but it goes through evey one. What a shot, into the 70s goes Mooney. Might not have enough of the target left for a ton though. Sutherland helps herself to a couple of doubles in that over. And then Shafali lets one through the legs at mid off as the wheels come off for India.
Huge over for Australia.
Feb 24, 2026 03:27 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 180/3 after 34 ovs (Target: 215)
More good running between the wickets as Mooney steals a single after tapping one to Jemimah at point. Just three off the Shafali over but that running between the wickets is just archetypal Mooney.
Feb 24, 2026 03:24 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 177/3 after 33 ovs (Target: 215)
"Moons is in a hurry," remarks Healy as Mooney nails a lofted on drive against Kashvee. "The way we have approached the run-chase has been fantastic." Australia are finishing without much of a fuss.
Feb 24, 2026 03:22 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 169/3 after 32 ovs (Target: 215)
"Happy frustrated," says Healy on a mid-innings interview, that she'd have wanted to be there in the middle. "Mooney took the pressure off me, I never felt like I was in on that wicket. The spinners bowled well." Smiles and adds there are about 50 of her family in the venue.
Feb 24, 2026 03:15 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 160/3 after 30,2 ovs (Target: 215)
SIX AND HALF CENTURY! That is without doubt the best knock of the day. Once again, great use of the feet, gets to the pitch of the delivery and lofts one down the ground for her second six of the night.
Feb 24, 2026 03:14 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 153/3 after 30 ovs (Target: 215)
OH DEAR! Not like it's going to make a difference at this stage but Sutherland gets a life. Short ball from Shafali and it is smashed off the backfoot, and is travelling fast and flat. Still, Kashvee didn't have to move at all, and yet puts down a sitter.
Feb 24, 2026 03:11 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 151/3 after 29 ovs (Target: 215)
This is now ending in a canter for Australia. Renuka returns to the attack, and Sutherland pounces on just a whiff of width, square cut behind point for four. Mooney then pounces on one on her pads, pickup-sweep shot for four behind square.
Feb 24, 2026 03:07 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 139/3 after 28 ovs (Target: 215)
OH DEAR! Was that a chance? Mooney looks to cut a short ball but it bounces a tad more than she expected. She is unable to keep it down but Jemimah at point seemed to have lost the trajectory of the ball as it came out of the lights. She moves sideways but if she had better sighting of that, she'd have dived forward. As such the ball falls just short of her.
Sutherland, who has come in for some rich praise fom Mitch Starc in the commentary box, plays a lovely drive through midwicket for a four.
Feb 24, 2026 03:04 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 131/3 after 27 ovs (Target: 215)
Sree Charani continues to keep things tidy, three singles in that over. Australia are taking no risks against her (even the boundaries that Mooney hit against Sree Charani were super calculated low-risk options).
Feb 24, 2026 02:59 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 127/3 after 26 ovs (Target: 215)
After an expensive opening spell, tighter lines and lengths from Kranti is this second spell so far. Just one run off that over.
Feb 24, 2026 02:55 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 126/3 after 25 ovs (Target: 215)
Mooney has switched up a gear here. What a delightful shot in that Sree Charani over. Again using the feet, we barely saw this from India today. Gets to the pitch of the ball and drives is past cover and mid off. TEXTBOOK ELEGANCE!
Sutherland is the new batter in.
Feb 24, 2026 02:52 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 121/3 after 24 ovs (Target: 215)
HEALY GONE! And for the fifth time in six ODIs they have played against each other, Kranti Gaud gets the wicket of Alyssa Healy! That's quite a remarkable frequency. Lovely catch by Jemimah Rodrigues, but Healy has done her bit in this run-chase. Slightly short of length, there was width on offer, so Healy went for it. But Rodrigues times her jump to perfection and plucks it out with both hands.
Alyssa Healy c Jemimah Rodrigues b Kranti Gaud 50 (70 balls)
Feb 24, 2026 02:46 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 118/2 after 23 ovs (Target: 215)
HALF CENTURY! Alyssa Healy is not just here to make up numbers in the name of her last series. She is a competitor as ever. Brings up a 69-ball half century in her final match at AB Field. And Mooney, next ball, dances down the ground and lofts Deepti for a straight six.
Feb 24, 2026 02:43 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 109/2 after 22 ovs (Target: 215)
You don't say this often but that is a really good diving stop in the outfield by Renuka Singh Thakur. Kashvee strays on Mooney's pads, nicely lifted behind square but Renuka does well to cover the ground and put in the dive. Good hustle.
Australia going along merrily now though.
Feb 24, 2026 02:40 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 105/2 after 21 ovs (Target: 215)
A rare loose delivery from Sree Charani in this spell and Healy latches on to it. Short ball, sits up nicely and the pull through midwicket was crisply timed. No stopping that. Mooney and Healy bring up their 50-run stand end of that over.
Feb 24, 2026 02:37 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 99/2 after 20 ovs (Target: 215)
And the pressure releases big time. 11 runs in that over as Kashvee returns. First, Mooney plays a wonderful square cut for four. Off the last ball, Healy is offered an early farewell gift, length ball on her pads and glanced away fine for the easiest boundary she will hit today.
Mind you, India have only two frontline spinners in Deepti and Sree Charani. If they want more spin, they'd have to go back to Shafali or Pratika.
Feb 24, 2026 02:33 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 88/2 after 19 ovs (Target: 215)
Kashvee Gautam into the attack now, replacing Deepti Sharma. The Aussie veterans would love pace here to work with you'd imagine.
Feb 24, 2026 02:32 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 88/2 after 19 ovs (Target: 215)
So just that one over before the drinks break for Shafali? No change of ends or anything. Just on over and off she goes as Sree Charani comes back in to bowl right away. Three singles in that over.
Feb 24, 2026 02:28 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 85/2 after 18 ovs (Target: 215)
And the boundary drought is over as Healy dances down the track and lofts one through cover. Kranti really should be doing better there after showing good speed across turf to get to the ball but almost dives over it.
Feb 24, 2026 02:27 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 79/2 after 17 ovs (Target: 215)
Confirmed on broadcast, it's been 50 deliveries since Australia's last boundary.
India have done well there. But it's wickets they need.
Deepti to continue after the drinks break.
Feb 24, 2026 02:24 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 79/2 after 17 ovs (Target: 215)
The boundaries have dried up for Australia but there is very little scoreboard pressure at the moment, the required rate is hovering around a very manageable 4. This is the benefit of steady rotation of strike. Shafali Verma gets one over and it goes for five runs.
Time for drinks.
Feb 24, 2026 02:20 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 74/2 after 16 ovs (Target: 215)
Australia's veteran batters have regained some of the control in this run-chase after that one superb over from Sree Charani. Rotating the strike well nicely here against Sree and Deepti. India keeping a good energy on the field (great save in the outfield from Kashvee to prevent a four but nearly collided with a teammate).
Feb 24, 2026 02:15 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 65/2 after 14 ovs (Target: 215)
Couple of sweeps from Alyssa Healy in that Deepti over and both were uppish. But one goes well over square leg and the other goes away from a big dive from Jemimah Rodrigues at square leg.
There is definitely help here for spinners.
Feb 24, 2026 02:11 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 61/2 after 13 ovs (Target: 215)
This is some wonderful flighted finger spin bowling from Sree Charani, she is keeping things tight for India. Just three singles in that over, and one of those, brings up 3000 ODI runs for Beth Mooney.
Feb 24, 2026 02:08 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 58/2 after 12 ovs (Target: 215)
Deepti Sharma into the attack and it is a tidy 2-run over. Healy and Mooney in the middle, the two veterans of this lineup, and this partnership is critical. Australia have great depth but another wicket here could make it tricky.
Feb 24, 2026 02:05 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 56/2 after 11 ovs (Target: 215)
What an over from Sree Charani. India back in the contest with those two wickets.
Feb 24, 2026 02:04 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 55/2 after 10.4 ovs (Target: 215)
AND TWO IN TWO! Sree Charani earned a lot of Australian respect during the two matches at the World Cup and she has struck twice in her first over now. Just a standard length delivery this one, Georgia Voll – who had two really good outings against India at this venue in December 2024 – just casually drives one to cover in the air. Mandhana dives forward and takes a lovely catch.
Georgia Voll c Smriti Mandhana b Sree Charani 0 (1 ball)
Feb 24, 2026 02:02 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 55/1 after 10.3 ovs (Target: 215)
That is a really, really good stumping from Richa Ghosh. The ball hits Phoebe Litchfield and deviates, the keeper reacts quickly to complete the stumping. Sree Charani strikes in her first over. Lovely flight on that delivery, turn in to Litchfield as well that did her in.
Phoebe Litchfield st Richa Ghosh b Sree Charani 32 (32 balls)
Feb 24, 2026 01:58 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 55/0 after 10 ovs (Target: 215)
Australia cruising along at the moment. Couple of tight overs but nothing much else happening for India. Kashvee does get Healy to flick one uppishly through square leg but it falls short of Sree Charani.
Charani now comes into the attack. Can she get the extra bounce that all of Australia's spinners managed?
Feb 24, 2026 01:53 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 49/0 after 9 ovs (Target: 215)
After a couple of really quiet overs from Renuka, mostly to Healy (she started this one with a peach to her as well that cut her in half), Litchfield decides to take charge. Fuller ball from Renuka, Litchfield opens the bat face superbly for a four past point.

Feb 24, 2026 01:49 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 42/0 after 8 ovs (Target: 215)
Kashvee into the attack after Kranti's expensive start and she nearly has Litchfield playing on. Kashvee is similar to Renuka in the sense that the stock delivery is the indipper and it beats Litchfield's outside edge on two different occasions. Good contest, India slowly managing to find a foothold in this innings. Need wickets though.
Feb 24, 2026 01:47 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 37/0 after 7 ovs (Target: 215)

India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 36/0 after 6.1 ovs (Target: 215)
UMPIRE'S CALL: Oh that's tough luck for India. Renuka manages to nip one back enough to beat Healy's inside edge and with the keeper standing up, the Aussie captain is pegged on the crease. This looked high in first viewing, but closer than we though. Umpire's Call for hitting the stumps. Bounce has been true here. India retain the review though.
Feb 24, 2026 01:41 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 36/0 after 6 ovs (Target: 215)
Litchfield on the charge here at AB Field. A lofted drive over midwicket, kind of plugs in the outfield but trickles through to the rope. Another ball on Litchfield's pads later in the over, and these are easy pickings. Glanced for four.
Feb 24, 2026 01:37 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 28/0 after 6 ovs (Target: 215)
India's first over with any real control. Renuka keeps Healy pinned on strike, as Richa Ghosh comes up to the stumps later on. India need wickets though and there is not much troubling the batters at the moment.
Feb 24, 2026 01:34 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 27/0 after 4 ovs (Target: 215)
JUST IN: Harmanpreet Kaur hasn't taken the field for this innings after injuring her left knee while batting, as per the broadcasters. Smriti Mandhana to lead the side, of course.
Feb 24, 2026 01:33 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 27/0 after 4 ovs (Target: 215)
Australia look like they want to make a big statement here. Litchfield loves batting against India and she is getting into her work early. Length ball from Kranti, punched uppishly through point. And then a gift on her pads, pulled away. Back-to-back fours.
Feb 24, 2026 01:29 PM IST
India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 18/0 after 3 ovs (Target: 215)
A good over from Renuka gets spoiled at the end as Litchfield goes hard at a cover drive with the angle and the resulting outside edge goes over the gully region. There were plenty of outside edges early for Mandhana but this wasn't tentative from Litchfield.
Feb 24, 2026 01:25 PM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 9/0 after 2 ovs (Target: 215)
Kranti Gaud vs Alyssa Healy is a great contest. In four out of the five matches she has played against Australia, Healy has been dismissed by Kranti, incudling the World Cup semifinal where she got one through the Aussie captain's defence. But in the league stage game, Healy went severely after Kranti. She is standing well outside the crease here against the pacer to counter the nip that she can get off the pitch.
Feb 24, 2026 01:20 PM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Updates: AUS 7/0 after 1 ov (Target: 215)
Delightful straight drive from Healy to get off the mark. We didn't see too many drives down the ground from India's batters, not for boundaries anyway but that right there is Australia's familiarity in these conditions.
Feb 24, 2026 01:16 PM IST

Healy and Litchfield walk out to the middle. Healy's final ODI series, she didn't take the gloves but she continues to open the batting.
Renuka Singh Thakur will start off.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 214 all out after 48.3 ovs
So, India do manage to go past 200 on a pitch that had extra bounce for spinners and pacers alike. But under lights, if dew comes in, it could get easier to bat on.
And remember, Australia have never lost a women's ODI at Allan Border field.
Join us shortly for the run-chase.

RUN OUT AND ALL OUT: Oh dear, that's a miscalculation and costs India a few runs in the end. Kashvee goes for a pull and then starts to run and there is not a double on offer there. Renuka is back on strike and Kashvee, trying to sneak a single, is run out at the non-striker's end.

KASHVEE! What a shot again. Goes across the stumps as Gardner floats one outside off, and nails a lofted slog sweep well over Sutherland at long on. That sounded so good off the bat! Third six of the match and third six for her. Takes a single off the fifth ball. and will be on strike for the next over as Renuka defends one off.
Feb 24, 2026 12:41 PM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 203/9 after 47 ovs
This is not really smart batting from India's lower order but cannot ask much of them, we suppose. Charani plays out a couple of dot balls early on, then goes for a big hoick and finds the fielder at deep midwicket. Should have just tried to get off strike first ball. Renuka plays out a dot last ball and Kashvee will just have to face all the deliveries she can from here on.
Sree Charani c Georgia Voll b Megan Schutt 2 (7 balls)

Kashvee nails another sweep, lofting over midwicket for a four. But unfortunately for India she is not able to get off strike the last ball. Sree Charani will be on strike.
Been a little gem from Kashvee, takes India past 200.

And Kranti's swing-and-miss stay is over. Gardner has her third and this is just a wild hoick that takes the edge and loops to the fielder at short third. Kashvee really should have been farming the strike at this point.

Kranti is just swinging for the hills... and repeatedly gets beaten on the outside edge. And then Kranti with nearly a repeat of *that* Harmanpreet Kaur run out. Just about survives. The bat got stuck on the crease line but her foot is deemed to be just in. She gets a single off the last ball, not sure that was the brightest over all around.
Feb 24, 2026 12:26 PM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 191/6 after 43 ovs
HARMANPREET KAUR GONE! Sweep shot, sensational catch by Georgia Voll. Harmanpreet got under this quite well, going with the spin so the idea was right. But she is unable to get past Voll at deep midwicket who runs to her right and completes a stunning diving catch.

Shot of the day so far? That is superb from Kashvee Gautam against one of the premier bowlers in the women's game. Fuller from Schutt, Kashvee just swings through the line and clears the fielder at long on.

HALF CENTURY: It's been a tough old grind for Harmanpreet Kaur today. Hasn't offered too many chances but hasn't been allowed to shift through gears as well. A patient 79-ball half centuty for the Indian captain. 39 dots and 36 singles in her knock so far, sums up how hard it has been. Another over filled with slower ones from Sutherland, just two in that over.
Feb 24, 2026 12:14 PM IST

Mitch Starc sharing on commentary some insight received from Alyssa Healy. There had been dew in the evening during WNCL games here at AB Field it seems. Would make batting easier in the second half. Starc says that is why Healy was more than happy to bowl first after Harman won the toss.
Schutt comes back into the attack. And Australia continue to extract some extra bounce from good length. Harman goes for a wild slog off the last ball, the edge goes behind past short third for a streaky four.
Feb 24, 2026 12:10 PM IST

More changes of pace from Sutherland and more plays and misses from the Indian batters as we enter the last 10 overs. Can India get to 220?
The extra bounce at AB Field has been the main reason for India's struggles today and this shows why. Screengrab: JioHotstar

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 170/6 after 39 ovs
DROPPED CATCH! Alana King nearly picks up another wicket with the last ball of her spell. After getting beaten by another ripper of a legspinner, Kashvee goes for another slog sweep but this one just gets the toe of the bat and goes to McGrath at mid off. She tracks back, gets both her hands to the ball but couldn't hold on.
Alana King finishes 1/43, a much better spell than those numbers indicate.

It's been a hard-grind for Harmanpreet who is on 40 off 67 balls now. She is geetting treatment here in between overs, something on her left leg it seems.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 164/6 after 38 ovs
The back-of-the-length slower ball from Sutherland nearly bounces as high as Harmanpreet's shoulder! Another bouncer to finish the over, this one left alone by Kashvee. Sutherland is such a crafty bowler these days.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 162/6 after 37 ovs
And Harmanpreet hits only the second four of her innings, off the 62nd ball she faces. Rare mistake from King, a full one on Harman's pads and she hits through midwicket and mid on for a nice four. Some momentum for India here. Kashvee tries the reverse sweep in that over and misses, gets hit on the grill.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 156/6 after 36 ovs
KASHVEE GAUTAM! What a shot that is. This time she nails a slog sweep off in front of midwicket for the first six of the day. Finishes the over with another superb sweep shot through square leg for her second four. Finally some boundary pressure being applied back on Australia's bowling after a long time.
Feb 24, 2026 11:49 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 145/6 after 35 ovs
Kashvee Gautam is a handy batter and she shows why with a superb sweep shot as Alana King comes back into the attack. Nailed a fuller one on her pads pierced the gap between two fielders in the deep. King finishes the over with another beaut, turning and bouncing sharply past Kashvee.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: IND 140/6 after 33.1 ovs
AND ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST! She kept flirting with that shot, did Richa Ghosh. And this time the cut eventually cuts her innings short. Again, extra bounce, and this time the attempted cut finds the backward point fielder. Voll is placed there now and she dives forward to take a sharp catch.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 140/5 after 33 ovs
Oh that is another absolute peach from Sutherland! This one holds the line and might have actually caught some paint off the offstump. It was that close! Richa is smiling, Sutherland too, more wryly. How did that miss the stumps?
Richa does finally manage to end the boundary drought later in the over, going for a lofted off drive that clears the mid off fielder. A boundary after 48 deliveries.
Feb 24, 2026 11:35 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 132/5 after 32 ovs
The Indian innings is going nowhere at the moment. Five dot balls in that Molineux over and Richa Ghosh nearly finds the fielders at midwicket and short fine with two loose defensive shots. Feels like something's gotta give at this point.
Some pace to work with now as Sutherland comes in.
Feb 24, 2026 11:32 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 130/5 after 31 ovs
Richa Ghosh nearly breaks the boundary drought in that over but once again Australia have the right field in place. A wideish long off is able to cut off an extra cover drive. Just 4 runs in that King over.
Feb 24, 2026 11:31 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 126/5 after 30 ovs
31 balls since the last boundary, by the way. It was when Richa Ghosh had just come out to bat.
Feb 24, 2026 11:29 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 126/5 after 30 ovs
If India had wickets, they could look at doubling the score from the 30-over mark. But as it is, they have only have Kashvee Gautam to come who can bat a bit. Five dot balls from Molineux to Richa Ghosh in that over. Just no loose balls and the field placement is top class.
Feb 24, 2026 11:26 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 125/5 after 29 ovs
Turn, bounce... and nearly another wicket. Richa Ghosh goes for the square cut but is unable to control the shot. But Darcie Brown at baackward point is unable to get there even as she puts in a full length dive. There is definite help for bowlers on this pitch... for now. Can India somehow get past 220-230 and give their bowlers something to work with? This is the partnership to do it for them.
Feb 24, 2026 11:23 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 122/5 after 28 ovs
Spin from both ends with Molineux followed by Alana King, who is in the middle of a lovely spell.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 119/5 after 27.2 ovs
RICHA SURVIVES ON REVIEW: Sophie Molineux into the attack and this time an Indian batter is saved by the bounce. The left-arm spinner gets one to angle in and straighten and it strikes Richa on her elbow. And it is relief for her after being given out as the bounce takes the ball over the stumps according to ball tracking.
Feb 24, 2026 11:18 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 119/5 after 27 ovs
Every time you watch Alana King bowl, you wonder how she doesn't play every match in every format for Australia and in the WPL too. Such a joy to watch when she is in full flow. That delivery for the LBW appeal was a beaut, drifting towards the pad and the turning away. Goes for a big hoick after that, beaten outside off. Then an outside edge goes just wide of a diving Healy at slip. Richa does manage to hit a nice drive off the last ball for a double.
Feb 24, 2026 11:15 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 115/5 after 26.2 ovs
A LATE, LATE REVIEW: We saw this in the T20Is between Mooney and Molineux. This time too it looked like Australia weren't going to review but Healy goes for the call at the last possible second. Laughs everywhere. But the ball is pitching outside leg and we don't even get to see the bounce. Surely would have gone above the stumps. Healy is surprised but that is so marginal.
Feb 24, 2026 11:12 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 115/5 after 26 ovs
Georgia Voll mic'd up in that over and she speaks about the importance of Smriti Mandhana's wicket just as India were starting to put pressure back on Australia. Refers to the period of dots and singles that brought up that lofted shot eventually and the mistake.
Dots and singles it is in that McGrath over too. Four runs off it.
Feb 24, 2026 11:08 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 111/5 after 25 ovs
India have lost half the side at the halfway stage. Richa Ghosh is the new batter in and she gets going with an uppish but well-place drive past mid off for four. Kings gets one to turn sharply again pas Richa's outside edge and for four byes.
Feb 24, 2026 11:05 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 103/5 after 24.1 ovs
Smriti Mandhana falls, Deepti Sharma follows... both to sweep shots. This time off spin as Alana King strikes too. No timing at all in this sweep from Deepti, who usually plays the shot well. The ball tamely loops into the hands of the fielder at short fine leg. Australia utterly in control at the moment.
Deepti Sharma c Sophie Molineux b Alana King 2 (4 balls)

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 100/4 after 23.2 ovs
AND THE BIG FISH IS GONE! She looked in such control after the early struggles, and Smriti Mandhana's wicket comes out of the blue. Mishits an attempted sweep into the air and Tahlia McGrath provides Australia's biggest breakthrough yet. Not the greatest of deliveries, truth be told. It's an offcutter from around the wicket, could have been wide too if Mandhana let it go. But the ball does have a little bit of that extra bounce and the lack of pace throws Mandhana's balance off.
Smriti Mandhana c Alana King b Tahlia McGrath 58 (68 balls)

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 100/3 after 23 ovs
As Lista Sthalekar points out on air, there is a lot of ooohs and aahhs when Alana King is bowling. Especially to Harmanpreet Kair, who is circumspect at the moment, striking at just over 50.0. Manages to push one past mid off for a rare double in a period of mostly singles. Five runs from that over.
Feb 24, 2026 10:56 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 95/3 after 22 ovs
India content with rotating the strike for now. Smriti Mandhana continues to target the square region with her pulls. Have Australia perhaps missed the trick by not going fuller to her and see if that extra bounce could trouble her? She is comfortable with her backfoot game.
Feb 24, 2026 10:53 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 90/3 after 21 ovs
Alana King is operating at mid 70kph-s. The turn is not significant as we saw once in that previous over. But the bounce is consistently there. And there is a graphic in that over that shows how Smriti has largely scored square of the wicket. Barely anything in the V.
Feb 24, 2026 10:49 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 87/3 after 20 ovs
56-ball half century! Yet another ODI fifty for Smriti Mandhana, back-to-back on this tour after her match-winning knock in the third T20I. Was streaky at the start of the innings but has looked in control since she got used to the bounce of the pitch. Some wonderful strokes as ever.
Four singles from McGrath's first over. Another bowler who didn't feature in the T20Is.
Feb 24, 2026 10:45 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 83/3 after 19 ovs
And there it is, a ripping leg spinner from Alana King. She loves to impart revs with her wrist spin, and it turns and bounces past Harmanpreet. Mooney gathers it high up as well and everyone is impressed with that delivery, as they should be. Four singles in that over. Mandhana, meanwhile, is on 49.
Feb 24, 2026 10:41 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 79/3 after 18 ovs
Just three singles in that Gardner over as India look to reestablish some control after the drinks break.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 76/3 after 17 ovs
Sutherland continues and a replay of that peach she bowled in the previous over to Harmanpreet. It looked like a cutter, not a slower ball necessarily, but rolled her fingers across the seam. And as we see that, she beats Harmanpreet outside off again with a length ball twice. It's a brilliant maiden over. Terrific stuff from the pacer.
Feb 24, 2026 10:31 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 76/3 after 16 ovs
A rare stray ball from Gardner, and Harmanpreet misses the swepe abut India still pick up a double. An uppish cover drive helps Harmanpreet pick up a double.
Feb 24, 2026 10:26 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 70/3 after 15 ovs
Oh, Sutherland with a terrific delivery. Length ball outside offstump, seams away after pitching, has extra bounce and beats Harmanpreet's outside edge. But the next ball is a rank full toss out of nowhere, Harmanpreet manages to square drive past point.
Feb 24, 2026 10:23 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 63/3 after 14 ovs
Gardner continues and she's a good matchup to Mandhana, has often troubled her with one that goes with the arm and traps Mandhana inside the crease. Mandhana treating her with caution.
Feb 24, 2026 10:19 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 60/3 after 13 ovs
Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana are in the middle now and India need their two leaders to step up. And Mandhana looks to be in great touch at the moment after the streaky start. Two pull shots in front of square for a couple of doubles. And then swivels a bit more and pulls one behind square for another boundary. 8 runs in that over.
Feb 24, 2026 10:13 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 52/3 after 11.2 ovs
ANOTHER ONE GONE! Jemimah Rodrigues looked to be finding her groove, nailing a lofted sweep over square leg for her first boundary. Gardner gets one to bounce off good length, not great turn but the dip and bounce is enough to catch the top of Jemi's bat. Almost close to the handle, so that should give you an idea of the bounce.
Jemimah Rodrigues c Beth Mooney b Ash Gardner 8 (13 balls)

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 48/2 after 11 ovs
Terrific first over from Sutherland. Lovely channel outside offstump. Gets a couple to seam away and beats Jemimah on the outside edge. Just one run in that over.
Feb 24, 2026 10:06 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 47/2 after 10 ovs

Feb 24, 2026 10:05 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 47/2 after 10 ovs
Edgy start but the ball is now starting to ping off Smriti Mandhana's bat. Three glorious boundaries at the end of the first powerplay. two in this 10th over by Brown. Earlier in the over, a ferocious square drive and then to end the over, a well-timed pull shot.
Feb 24, 2026 10:01 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 39/2 after 9 ovs
And finally, Smriti Mandhana nails one of her drives. Perfect timing, perfect placement. The swing is dying down and Mandhana has her eye in. Past mid off for four. Jemimah, busy as ever, pushes Mandhana for a double later in the over.
Feb 24, 2026 09:59 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 31/2 after 8 ovs
OH DEAR! Mandhana gets lucky again! But this one, she slashed hard at, didn't prod at it. Flies over the slip region. All three of her and India's boundaries have come through that region.
Well, well. Jemimah Rodrigues, who batted at No 3 in the World Cup knockouts, is now slotted in at No 4 ahead of Harmanpreet Kaur.

ANOTHER ONE GONE! Big trouble for India now. Shafali Verma also falls early and India have lost two in the first 7 overs. Darcie Brown takes an awkward return catch. That fuller length again that Brown has been targetting Shafali with, gets a leading edge and Brown dives forward well.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 24/1 after 7 ovs
Oh, a bouncer from Schutt. Not one of the more pacier bowlers in the game, known for her swing more than anything. But she surprises Shafali who was starting to duck underneath, then decided to go for a ramp, and ended up missing it.
Oh dear, another streaky boundary for Mandhana. It's that swing again and Mandhana once again goes for a half-hearted square punch, the outside edge once again falls between the wide second slip and gully fielders. Frustration for Australia and Schutt, who throws her head back.
Feb 24, 2026 09:47 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 17/1 after 6 ovs
Better rotation of strike from India in the last couple of overs. Mandhana hits a short-arm jab through square leg for a couple. Shafali timed one really well through mid off earlier in the over, but more good fielding. Looked like Tahlia McGrath putting in that dive.
Feb 24, 2026 09:44 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 12/1 after 5 ovs

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Updates: IND 12/1 after 5 ovs
The first shot in anger of this innings and it is Shafali of course, going for a pull shot but it is, fortunately for her, not well-timed because there is a fielder at deep square leg. Schutt gets another outside edge with the swing against Mandhana, and the ball squirts through to the vacant third region for a couple. A more confident square cut for single follows.

"She started her career without the gloves and she is going to end without them," Mitch Starc says when asked if there was a conversation between selectors and the retiring Aussie captain.
Meanwhile, a STREAKY four for Smriti Mandhana. She premeditated the Schutt swing in that entire over to move across the stumps. One ball bounces a bit more from good length, Smriti goes for the cut but manages to "place" the outside edge between the second slip and gully fielders.
Nervy, nervy start for India.

India yet to get off the mark with the bat after 11 legal deliveries. Darcie Brown was erratic in the T20Is but she is holding a good line at the start, bowls a wide before the last ball. Smriti pushes one down the ground and takes a single for India's first run off the bat. Australia on the prowl early on here at AB Field.
Meanwhile, a stat pops on the broadcast that confirms Australia's dominance at AB Field. Played 20 women's ODIs, won all of them.

EARLY BREAKTHROUGH! Story of contrasting returns. Megan Schutt, drafted into the ODI squad late, strikes in her first over. Pratika Rawal, brought back into the ODI XI right away, is out for a second-ball duck. Signifcant inward movement as always from Schutt and Pratika is caught on the crease. Thought it might be bouncing a bit high but it is all three REDS. Early blow for Pratika and India.

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: CHALLENGE
Speaking a day before this ODI series, Healy spoke of the challenge that India present.
"India's playing some really good cricket, we're being really challenged at the moment, and they're full of confidence, and as they should be, they're playing really well," Healy said on Monday (cricket.com.au). "They've got a big trophy in their cabinet that they're really proud of and have got every right to come out here and play the way that they have. "It's now a challenge for us to bounce back and throw the next punch in this format and say that this is our turf, these are our conditions, and this is the way that we play this ODI format. "We know they're a talented side. They are the world champs, and probably for the first time for a little while it's an opportunity for us to come hard at them."
Feb 24, 2026 08:37 AM IST
India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Retirement call
Healy joked in the podcast that she made the decision to quit cricket because her husband and Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc hit a hole-in-one in golf recently and she felt like she need to take up the sport full time to beat him. But soon, went on to elaborate the mental fatigue that had set in recently.
“It’s been a long time coming. I think probably the last few years have been probably more mentally draining than anything else,” the 34-year-old said. “Few injuries. You got to dive into the well a couple of times and probably that well was getting less and less full of water, so getting harder to dive back in there. At the end of the day having the opportunity to finish at home against India, which is on the calendar one of the biggest series for us, a multi-format one. I thought it was a really cool way to finish with some of my teammates and obviously some family around as well. It would have been nice to do it in India with a World Cup, but to finish at home would be really cool, really special.”

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: HEALY BACK
Australia will be boosted by the return of Alyssa Healy, the captain who is playing her final few internationals. She had announced her retirement a while back at the end of this series, which will culminate with the one-off Test in Perth.
One of Australia’s greatest match-winners and an eight-time World Cup winner, Healy said the last few months have become mentally draining as she had to deal with injuries, and with her deciding not to play the upcoming T20 World Cup in England later this year, she has taken the call to sign off after one of the ‘biggest series’ for Australia.
“I wanted to save it for the podcast because this has been the most enjoyable little side hustle that I’ve been a part of over the last little period. Officially, coming out today that you hear this, I am actually retiring from cricket at the end of the Indian series. Please don’t make me cry. Not an easy decision, but had to be made at some point,” Healy said on WillowTalk Cricket Podcast.

Muzumdar also spoke about arriving early in Australia. "I think it is very critical, as far as the coaching staff is concerned. We observed this last year, when we went to England. We went 10 days prior to the series that started, and then we had the desired results in England. Similarly, I think going abroad, it's very critical to acclimatise and get into the groove as soon as possible."

India Women (IND-W) vs Australia Women (AUS-W) 1st ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Pratika returns
Coach Amol Muzumdar called it a 'good headache to have' and 'we'll cross the bridge when we get there' when asked about Pratika Rawal's return to the ODI squad and whether she will return straight to the XI.
Remember, an in-form Pratika Rawal got injured during the World Cup before India's semifinal and then Shafali Verma came out of the blue back into the setup and has been in good form since. It's an interesting selection call to make in the ODI setup on where and if Pratika fits.

Hello
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the first ODI between India and Australia. The Indian team just managed to secure the T20I series, triumphing in the three-match series with a thrilling win in the final game.
Can Harmanpreet Kaur's side repeat the same in ODIs?
Not since 2016 had India won a women’s bilateral series in Australia. And not since 2017 had Australia lost a bilateral assignment at home. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co achieved both those milestones on Saturday at the Adelaide Oval with an impressive all-round performance as they beat the world No 1 in their own backyard to clinch the T20I leg of the multi-format series 2-1. There were no trophies handed out after the match on Saturday (there are points for wins in each of the three formats to decide the overall winner at the end of the Test match in Perth), but this first leg of India’s tour Down Under was the most important, given the T20 World Cup a few months away. Which makes India’s achievement a strong statement – the ODI World Champions are gunning for the 20-over title too. (READ MORE)
