Australia Women (AUS W) and India Women (IND W) are set to face each other in the series decider at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday, February 21, after the first two T20Is delivered contrasting results.
The opening clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground saw the visitors draw first blood in a rain-affected contest. After being put under pressure early, Australia were bundled out for 133 in 18 overs, with Arundhati Reddy and Renuka Thakur sharing six wickets between them. Chasing a revised target, India raced to 50/1 in 5.1 overs before rain intervened, sealing a 21-run win via the DLS method and handing the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team a 1-0 lead.
However, Australia bounced back strongly in the second T20I in Canberra. Georgia Voll’s 88 guided the hosts to 163/5, while Ashleigh Gardner’s three-wicket haul derailed India’s chase despite a good start. The 19-run win levelled the series 1-1.

Adelaide Oval, Adelaide: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Adelaide Oval offers an evenly balanced deck for a mouthwatering contest between the bat and the ball. Moreover, the amount of bounce and carry on the surface over the years has always seen fast bowlers dominate throughout the length of the match. However, the ball comes onto the bat pretty nicely, and the faster outfield gives batters the full value if they manage to hit in the gaps.
