The third and final match of the Australia Women’s ODI series against India is being played today. This match will be played at Ninja Stadium in Australia. In the third and final ODI, Team India will enter the field with full strength. In the first two matches of the series, the Indian batting did not live up to expectations and failed to put up big scores. Taking advantage of this, Australia reached the target easily both times and took an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Today’s match has been tossed, in this match India captain Harmanpreet has won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Indian women’s team has failed to win the ODI series against Australia for the 12th time in a row. Statistics show that India have never won a bilateral ODI series against Australia. As a result, the final match is only a formality.
