Australia Women vs India Women: 3rd ODI Preview and Live Updates

The Australia Women and India Women cricket teams are set to face off in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) of their series on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at the Western Australia Cricket Association Ground (WACA) in Perth.

Australia Women have already secured the series after winning the first two ODIs convincingly. Despite this, India Women will be looking to salvage some pride with a consolation victory in the final match. The Indian team has struggled in the series so far, failing to perform well in both batting and bowling departments.

The match is scheduled to start at 09:50 AM IST (Indian Standard Time) and will be broadcast live on Star Sports 2 for English commentary and Star Sports 1 Hindi for Hindi commentary. Fans can also watch the live streaming online through the Disney+ Hotstar platform.

The pitch at the WACA Ground is known to favor bowlers, particularly pacers, who can expect some assistance from the surface. Batters will need to be patient and cautious in the early stages of the game.

For the third ODI, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur has opted to bowl first, making two changes to the team. Australia, on the other hand, has retained their XI from the previous match. Key players to watch include Australia’s Ellyse Perry, who was in exceptional form in the last game, and Annabel Sutherland, who has been impressive with the ball.

The head-to-head record between the two teams in ODIs favors Australia, with 45 wins out of 55 matches played. India will need a significant improvement in their performance to secure a win in this final match.
