India Women face their Australian counterparts in a pink-ball Test at The Carrara Oval in Queensland. The Test match will be played between September 30-October 3 with the Indian eves having a chance to avenge their ODI series defeat. The Australian team beat the Indian team 2-1 in the series heading into this one-off Test match. The last time both these teams played a Test match was way back in 2006.
Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami who were part of that tour are veterans of this team now. Meanwhile, for India, Harmanpreet Kaur will miss the test match.
The Australian team is super confident after their ODI series win and look better placed to win the Test match as well. They have the experience of playing a pink-ball Test match previously while India will have to adjust to the ball and the conditions. The Indian eves last played in whites back in 2019.
