🏏India Women tour of Australia 2026: 3rd T20I in Adelaide🏏 - Page 6

Sophie Molineux: We were a little bit off in all three departments. Same team. We haven't played together for 4 or 5 months.

Harmanpreet Kaur: We are gonna bowl first. Looking at the conditions, bowling first is a better option for us. Our bowlers did a great job for us. Hopefully I keep doing the hardwork for my team.

It's a clash between two teams that not only have solid batting line-ups but also bat deep. There's a lot of firepower and experience in both the camps. At the SCG, the Indian bowlers fared superbly to bundle out the hosts for 133. Will Australia bring back Tahlia McGrath and Megan Schutt into the XI? They aren't known to make drastic changes and India are likely to stick with the winning combination. Plenty of mini-battles to look forward to in this contest. Stay tuned, toss and team updates coming up shortly.

Australia Women (Playing XI): Beth Mooney(w), Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner, Georgia Wareham, Nicola Carey, Annabel Sutherland, Sophie Molineux(c), Kim Garth, Darcie Brown
