India Women vs Australia Women स्कोर, 1st T20I of Women Australia vs India 2026

FOUR! Kim Garth to Jemimah Rodrigues. Half volley, working, Played past fine leg for 4 runs. Rain has brought a premature end to tonight's series opener between Australia and India, with the visitors kicking off their tour with a 21-run victory by way of the DLS method. The Australian batters struggled to get a feel for the pace of this slow, late-season SCG pitch. Most got starts but no one passed 30 as they stumbled to be all out for 133. Arundhati Reddy made the most of conditions and finished with 4 wickets in a match-defining spell. In response, the Indian openers scored boundaries regularly in their first 5.1 overs before the players were called off due to rain with the score at 1/50. No further play was possible but the minimum threshold was achieved to constitute a match so India take full points from this game. Reddy's spell deservedly earned her the Player of the Match award, meanwhile, Australia have some things to consider before the continuation of this series in Canberra on Thursday.
