Alana King To Smriti Mandhana
Starts with a low full toss, around off, Mandhana knocks it to extra-cover for a run.
A quick word with Ellyse Perry on the sidelines - Perry says it has not been a bad start. Tells that there has been a little bit in the wicket and they managed to create a few chances early on, so it will be really interesting to see how the next few overs pan out. She praises Schutt for bowling exceptionally well up front and creating opportunities. Ellyse also shares that she picked up a small niggle during the T20I series. Adds that the scans showed only something minor, so it was about letting it settle. Mentions that she has started running again, and they will see how things progress over the next week or so.

DRINKS BREAK! India have managed to get a partnership going through Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur. Mandhana was scratchy early on, but she is gradually starting to find her rhythm and timing. The job of these two will be to lay a strong platform for the likes of Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma and take this stand as deep as possible. Australia, though, have been disciplined with the ball and will want to maintain that control. The swing has faded as the ball has gotten older, but there is still enough happening off the deck for Annabel Sutherland to keep the batters honest.

Megan Schutt To Shafali Verma
Just wide! Pitched up, on off, Shafali presses forward and goes hard on the drive. The bat turns in her hand and the ball goes back towards the bowler uppishly. Schutt sticks out her left hand but the ball is out of her reach.

Megan Schutt To Pratika Rawal OUT!
OUT! LBW! A loud shout and the finger is raised. Rawal has taken the review. That looked a touch high as it hit Pratika on the back thigh. Is it going over? The first replay does not suggest so. Tailing back into the right-hander, on a good length, on middle. A tentative prod by Rawal while staying rooted to the crease. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and catches the batter on the back thigh, which is a bit crouched. No bat involved and the Ball Tracking has the ball crashing into the leg stump. Three reds and Rawal is gone for a two-ball duck.

Darcie Brown To Pratika Rawal
A hint of inward shape first up for Schutt. On a good length, on top of off. Rawal hangs back and stabs it down the strip.
All set for action. Slightly overcast conditions with a nice breeze blowing across. The Australian players are out in the middle. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal to open for India. Megan Schutt to bowl first. A slip in place. Let's play...
Australia Women (Playing XI) - Alyssa Healy (C), Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney (WK), Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Megan Schutt and Darcie Brown.
India Women (Playing XI) - Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (WK), Deepti Sharma, Kashvee Gautam, Sree Charani, Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh Thakur.
Healy wants an early punch - Australia's skipper, Alyssa Healy says they wanted to bowl first in these conditions. Shares that it was unusual to sit out and watch. Reckons that India have started the series well but they'll put pressure on them by landing the first punch. Healy prides herself on the Aussies' ODI dominance and hopes to remain consistent. Informs that Ellyse Perry and Kim Garth are out of the ODI series after picking up a quad injury in the last T20I.
Enjoy the occasion - The captain of India, Harmanpreet Kaur feels that batting first is a better option. Shares that they had a lot of fun at the World Cup and hopes that they can enjoy themselves today as well. Informs that they have a few additions to the ODI setup, with Kashvee Gautam being one of them.
TOSS - Alyssa Healy and Harmanpreet Kaur are out in the middle for the toss. The coin flip lands in Kaur's favour. India elect to BAT first!
Invincible at Brisbane - The battleground for this opening clash is a venue where history heavily favours the hosts. With the new ball expected to zip through in the opening hour, the contest between India's top order and Australia’s seamers will likely set the tone for the entire series. It’s a clash of legacies, milestones, and important points in the series. Toss and team sheets next.
India shuffle the pack - Strategy and selection will be under the microscope today. India arrives having clinched the recent T20I series 2-1, led by the prolific bat of Smriti Mandhana. While they bring in the likes of Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol and Kashvee Gautam, the absence of the leading wicket-taker of the T20I leg, Arundhati Reddy, leaves a void they must fill. Australia has also recalibrated, welcoming back Healy and the dangerous Alana King to a squad hungry to avenge their recent T20I slip-up.
Farewell, Alyssa Healy - The emotional heart of this series lies with the Australian camp as they prepare to bid farewell to their iconic skipper, Alyssa Healy, in her final WODI series. The Aussies will be desperate to provide Healy with a fairy-tale send-off. However, the challenge ahead is formidable. They face an Indian side brimming with the confidence of reigning World Cup champions, the very team that ended Australia’s dreams in a heart-stopping semi-final last year.
Time for the ODIs! Welcome to the dawn of a high-stakes chapter in women’s cricket as India and Australia gear up for a series opener that carries immense weight. For the visitors, it’s a golden opportunity to prove their mettle in challenging overseas conditions and carry forward the momentum of their recent T20I success. For Australia, it’s about more than just winning, it’s about reasserting their legendary home-turf dominance and honouring a modern great.
...MATCH DAY...
The ODI leg begins with high stakes - A 4-2 lead, a fresh format, and a farewell storyline, the stakes could not be better poised as Australia Women take on India in the 1st ODI of this three-match series at Allan Border Field. With two points awarded for each white-ball win and four reserved for the one-off Test, Australia Women know this ODI leg is their chance to swing the momentum after India clinched the T20Is 2-1. Adding emotion to the contest, this series marks the final international appearances in Australian colours for Alyssa Healy, who missed the T20Is but returns in a format where she averages 42.05 against India and will be eager to make an impact. Australia Women's fortress record - Australia Wome's home dominance in WODIs is formidable, just two defeats in their last 21 matches in these conditions. Beth Mooney and Phoebe Litchfield have been standout performers over the past year, combining for over 800 runs, while Ellyse Perry continues to set benchmarks, recently becoming the first Australian woman to earn 350 international caps. Ashleigh Gardner adds balance and confidence after her fifty in the final T20I, with Georgia Wareham and Tahlia McGrath strengthening the all-round depth. Carey’s potential return to the WODI setup for the first time since 2022 provides further intrigue. With the ball, Annabel Sutherland has led from the front with 19 wickets in her last 9 games, Alana King offers consistent spin threat, while Darcie Brown and Sophie Molineux ensure variety and control across phases. Confidence, class and comebacks - India return to the ODI format for the first time since that unforgettable night in Navi Mumbai when they lifted the World Cup after defeating South Africa. The last time these two sides met in this format was in that World Cup semi-final, where Jemimah Rodrigues produced a stunning unbeaten 127 to turn the game on its head. Smriti Mandhana remains the batting mainstay, amassing over 1000 runs in her last 20 games with four hundreds, while Pratika Rawal has enjoyed a meteoric rise, equalling the record for the fastest 1000 WODI runs in 23 innings, matching Lindsay Reeler (1988). Returning from the injury that ruled her out of the World Cup semis and final, Rawal's comeback adds depth, especially after Shafali Verma impressed at the top in her absence, presenting a welcome selection dilemma. The battle in the middle overs - The middle order carries experience and firepower through Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Deol and Richa Ghosh, while the bowling attack has been delivering at all fronts. Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana have combined for 60 wickets in the last 12 months, dominating the middle overs, with Kranti Gaud and Renuka Singh Thakur forming a potent new-ball pairing that could enjoy the Brisbane conditions. Sree Charani adds further spin depth, giving India multiple tactical options. Form (Last 5 completed WODIs, most recent first) - Australia Women - LWWWW | India Women - WWWLL. Points on the line, Pride at stake - Momentum favours India, history favours Australia Women at home, and valuable multi-format points hang in the balance. With the Test looming and the ODI leg pivotal in shaping the narrative, this opener in Brisbane promises a high-quality contest between two sides with depth, belief and plenty at stake.
