🏏 India Women tour of Australia 2026: Australia W vs India W Test🏏 - Page 4

No hiccups in that chase, even though there may have been some hoping for one final innings from Healy. Voll survived an lbw call, but that was it, with her and Litchfield ransacking the requisite runs to set Australia on their way. Plenty to build upon for them, with this being more or less the complete performance, even if their next women's Test is a while away.

India, though, will feel they have let an opportunity slip, of being unable to withstand the pressure of Test cricket against their fiercest rival. Their batting lacked application, and even though their bowling had bite at different junctures, it was not incisive throughout to put Australia under substantial pressure.

Alana King: Happy to play my part (in Healy's final game). Turn and bounce, that is why I love bowling here, and (happy) to send Midge off in style. She has been an incredible pillar for the team. She has put her own stamp (as a captain). Not just her captaincy legacy, her entire cricketing legacy. To get a series win, I know she will be celebrating tonight. (Favourite moment) There have been a few but what has been spoken about a lot is the 2022 World Cup. To be able to bat with such freedom (against England in the final), it was amazing to watch. Lots of memories on the cricket field, and hopefully they continue now on the golf course.

Harmanpreet Kaur, India captain: We started really well, playing good cricket in the T20s but we were unfortunately not able to continue. Always nice playing in Australia. It was great fun and in future also, we hope we will keep getting such (multi-format) tournaments - it gives us confidence. Test cricket is something we want to play. Pink-ball was certainly a challenge. Staff has been great and they have given us a lot of support. Thank you to the Indian fans and cricket fans. Today was not a great day but in the future, we can hopefully make them proud.
