Historic One-Day International (ODI) Series Victory of India, Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, Over Australia in the Series Decider

In a historic moment, the Indian and Australian women's cricket teams are set to face off in the decisive One Day International (ODI) match on Saturday night, September 20, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. This marks the first women's ODI in the national capital in nearly 30 years.

The match comes after India achieved their first home ODI win over Australia in 18 years in the second ODI. The hosts secured a 102-run victory, ending Australia's 13-match ODI unbeaten streak.

Australia's struggle with forming big partnerships and maintaining bowling consistency was evident in the second ODI. However, Ellyse Perry and Annabel Sutherland provided some resistance. Darcie Brown, on the other hand, impressed with her bowling performance, claiming 3-42.

The Australian team may see some changes for the decider, with Tahlia McGrath possibly returning to the squad. McGrath, who serves as vice-captain, could bolster the team's batting lineup. Phoebe Litchfield and Kim Garth are also potential additions, which could further strengthen Australia's lineup.

The Australian squad for the match includes Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Darcie Brown, Tahlia McGrath (vc), Nicole Faltum, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Alana King, Charli Knott, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, and Georgia Wareham.

India aims to replicate their victory in the series decider at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday night. The Indian team's bowling attack was led by Renuka Singh Thakur and Kranti Goud in the second ODI. However, Renuka's mid-innings exit in the previous match raises questions about her availability for the decider.

India's squad for the match includes Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, Richa Ghosh (wk), Kranti Gaud, Sayali Satghare, Radha Yadav, Sree Charani, Sneh Rana, and Tejal Hasabnis.

The much-anticipated match will take place on Saturday night, September 20, at 1:30 PM IST. Cricket enthusiasts can catch the live action on Star Sports Network for TV broadcast and JioHotstar for live streaming.
