Women's T20I Series v India — 1st T20I
Women's cricket returns to the SCG this summer, with the Aussies taking on a surging India under the lights in a primetime T20 showdown.
Overview
A big-time game deserves a big-time stage — and for the Australian women's cricket team, it doesn't get much bigger than facing the might of India under the lights of the SCG. The growing rivalry between these two powerhouses is one of modern cricket's most thrilling storylines, with both sides playing at the top of their game right now.
While Australia has long dominated the women's game, India has emerged as its fiercest challenger. From the 2020 T20 World Cup final — when more than 86,000 fans packed the MCG to watch Australia lift its fifth trophy — to India's maiden ODI World Cup triumph in November, which saw them knock out the top-ranked Aussies along the way, encounters between the two sides have become must-watch cricket.
With India now boasting a new generation of match-winners and Australia fielding a lineup stacked with experience and homegrown stars, the stage is set for another unmissable chapter in this ongoing saga. Expect electric energy and world-class talent as Alyssa Healy and her side look to reclaim bragging rights over the Women in Blue in front of a full-voiced home crowd in a primetime slot.
