Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India will be up against an Australian women's side that rarely loses in home conditions, where in their last contest on Australian soil triumphed over India Women 2-1 in 2021.  On the other hand, Australian women will be without their star player and captain Alyssa Healy, and play an ODI series after nine months, which seep complacency.

IND-W vs AUS-W 1st ODI 2024 Match Key Battles

A crucial contest will be between India opener Smriti Mandhana and Australian speedster Megan Schutt. Mandhana featured in WBBL and will look to build on her performances, while Schutt, with her line and length, has always been a threat. Ashleigh Gardner is another player who often steps up her game against India and will look to spoil the visitor's party, where Harmanpreet Kaur's role in the middle-order could come in handy. Kaur can challenge Gardner with her ability to tackle spinners aggressively. India Cricket Team’s New ODI Jersey Unveiled!
