“It’s been an incredible journey, and I want to finish on a high with this amazing group,” said Alyssa Healy, reflecting on her final international match as Australia Women’s captain.

On the opening day of the one-off pink-ball Test at WACA Ground in Perth, Australia bowled out India for a total of 198 runs. Jemimah Rodrigues was the standout performer for India, top-scoring with 52 runs.

Annabel Sutherland led the Australian bowling attack, claiming 4 wickets for 46 runs, while debutant Lucy Hamilton made an impressive entrance by taking 3 wickets for just 31 runs.

India’s innings lasted 62.4 overs, a testament to their effort against a formidable Australian side. The match marks a significant moment for both teams, with India looking to build on their recent success in Test cricket.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian team, emphasized the team’s approach, stating, “We want to play positive cricket and give ourselves the best chance.”

This Test is particularly notable as it is India’s first since June 2024, and it comes after their historic victory over Australia in December 2023, where they secured their first-ever Test win against the Australians by eight wickets at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

The match is being played under the lights, adding an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings. With Australia currently leading the series 8-3 in ODIs, the stakes are high for both teams.

As the Test progresses, fans will be keen to see how India responds and whether they can capitalize on their growing Test pedigree.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further developments in the match as it unfolds.
