IND-W vs AUS-W 1st T20I Dream11: After enduring a whitewash in the three-match ODI series, the Indian women’s cricket team is set to host Australia for a T20 series. The opening game of the three-match assignment is slated to be played on January 5. The Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai will host the 20-over contest at 7 PM IST on Friday.
Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the Indian side, with star batter Smriti Mandhana as her deputy. On the other hand, Australia Women will be led by Alyssa Healy while Tahlia McGrath has been named the vice-captain. India will look to make the most out of the T20I series as they seek revenge for defeats in the ODIs.
The Women in Blue last played a T20I series in December last year, going head-to-head against England on home soil. Despite putting up a commendable performance, India lost the series 2-1. Meanwhile, Australia featured in a T20I series against the West Indies at home ahead of the India tour.
