India, facing a tough challenge, will aim to avoid a clean sweep in the third and final women's ODI against Australia on Wednesday. The series against the seven-time world champions has highlighted India's struggles in batting, bowling, and fielding which the Women in Blue will want to rectify before next year's 50-over World Cup at home.?
The 3rd ODI between the India Women and Australia Women will be played at the W.A.C.A. Ground, Perth starting at 9:50 AM IST on December 11, 2024. Fans can live stream the clash on the Disney+ Hotstar app and website in India, while Star Sports Network will broadcast the match on their TV channels in India.?
Despite some strong individual batting performances, Team India struggled to chase Australia's 371/8, having to suffer a record 122-run defeat in the 2nd ODI, which exposed their vulnerabilities.??
In the first ODI too, only four batters reached double digits and the bowlers were off target. It allowed the Aussies to post their third-highest ODI total. In fact, their new and upcoming stars, led by Tahlia McGrath have delivered a dominant performance. The 21-year-old Georgia Voll, showed impressive composure, guiding Australia to a modest 101-run chase with an unbeaten 46.
