India will be desperate to bounce back when they take on Australia in the second women’s ODI on Wednesday, after suffering a heavy defeat in the series opener. With the World Cup just around the corner, Harmanpreet Kaur’s team will know that a stronger all-round performance is crucial to restoring confidence.
India’s batting showed promise in the first match, with Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol scoring half-centuries to set up a total of 281. However, the effort was undermined by sloppy fielding, as four dropped catches allowed Australia to dominate the chase with ease. The spin attack also struggled, with only Sneh Rana managing a breakthrough, while the others went wicketless.
Senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma has urged calm, insisting the team won’t dwell on one off-day in the field. Still, India’s middle and lower-order batting, along with sharper catching and bowling execution, will be areas of focus.
Australia, meanwhile, look well-prepared for a World Cup push, with Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield and Tahlia McGrath in ominous form. The only concern is Ellyse Perry, who retired hurt in the first game and remains doubtful. For India, it’s a chance to level the series and regain momentum.
