🏏India Women tour of Australia 2026: 1st T20I in Sydney🏏 - Page 5

Congratulations to the Indian Women for their win against Australia.

The match has been called off. The rain has had the final say. India win by 21 runs as per DLS. India won the toss and put Australia into bat under overcast skies. The hosts went too hard during the course of the innings and that didn’t help their cause. Arundhati Reddy starred with the ball for India with a 4-fer. Voll, Litchfield, Perry and Wareham got starts but couldn't convert those into anything substantial. India kept striking at regular intervals and bowled out Australia for a below-par 133. Then, Shafali and Mandhana took India off to a brisk start and that pushed them further on the front foot. Rain halted play after 5.1 overs and it didn't relent after that. So, a tame end to the game but India were the favourites at the halfway stage and they take a well-deserved 1-0 lead in the 3-match T20I series.
