AUS-W vs IND-W Team Previews

Australia Women

Australia came into this series under pressure following a disappointing T20 campaign, but they bounced back in style with a clean sweep in the ODIs to retain the multi-format trophy. Now, they'll look to stamp their authority in the longest format as well.

Alyssa Healy leads a well-rounded squad packed with match-winners. Beth Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield, and Georgia Voll give the batting line-up serious depth and experience. The big question mark is Ellyse Perry, whose fitness remains uncertain due to injury.

In her absence, debutant Rachel Trenaman has been called up — and she arrives in excellent form after a standout WNCL season where she scored 648 runs. Maitlan Brown also returns to the Test fold for the first time since 2021, strengthening a pace attack alongside Darcie Brown and Annabel Sutherland.

The spin department may look slightly thin without Sophie Molineux. Alana King and Georgia Wareham will need to step up when the conditions turn.

India Women

India's tour of Australia has been a tale of two halves — a brilliant T20 series win followed by a painful ODI whitewash. But with a Test match left to play, there's still an opportunity to end the tour with a statement result.

Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Jemimah Rodrigues will anchor the batting lineup, all of whom carry valuable experience of playing in Australian conditions — including stints in the WBBL. Five players are in line for their Test debut: Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Kashvee Gautam, Kranti Gaud, and Amanjot Kaur.

Rawal has been among India's most consistent white-ball batters recently and could be the X-factor at the top of the order. Amanjot Kaur and Harleen Deol add all-round value, capable of contributing with both bat and ball.

With Renuka Singh ruled out, the pace attack falls to the relatively inexperienced pairing of Kashvee Gautam and Kranti Gaud, which could be a concern against Australia's power hitters. Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana are expected to anchor the spin department.

AUS-W vs IND-W Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss is expected to elect to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

This will be the first international fixture at the WACA following its extensive redevelopment, so there's a degree of uncertainty around how the surface will play. That said, the WACA has historically been one of the fastest, bounciest pitches in the world, and we expect those characteristics to remain — especially in the early stages of the match.

Once the batters get their eye in, the surface should offer good value for strokeplay, but the opening bowlers will fancy their chances with the pink ball under the lights. The team batting first should target a score in the range of 325–350 to put themselves in a commanding position.

As the match progresses, the pitch is expected to slow down and offer increasing turn, potentially making spinners decisive in the fourth innings. Weather conditions look favourable throughout, with clear skies and temperatures hovering around 30°C.

AUS-W vs IND-W : Who Will Win?

Australia is the clear favourite here, and the odds reflect that — but there's still genuine value in backing them to win. They are arguably the best team in the world in women's Test cricket right now, boasting a balanced, experienced squad that knows how to perform under pressure at home.

India, while talented, face serious challenges: a depleted pace attack, multiple debutants, and the weight of a poor ODI campaign. Backing Australia to dominate this D/N Test at the WACA is the standout bet of this match.

Bet on Australia Women to win.
