The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side won the rain-affected first T20I by 21 runs in Sydney before the hosts, led by a new face in Sophie Molineux, struck back in the second game in Canberra to level the series at 1-1. It was Smriti Mandhana’s classy 82 that helped India beat Australia by 17 runs in Adelaide.Story continues below this adThe home team will get a big boost with the return of Alyssa Healy, who is playing her last series before hanging up her boots from international cricket. Healy, who will also lead the side, was all praise for India but also said that this gives Australia the chance to come hard at the visitors.“India’s playing some really good cricket, we’re being really challenged at the moment, and they’re full of confidence, and as they should be, they’re playing really well. They’ve got a big trophy in their cabinet that they’re really proud of and have got every right to come out here and play the way that they have,” she told the reporters on the eve of the game.“It’s now a challenge for us to bounce back and throw the next punch in this format and say that this is our turf, these are our conditions, and this is the way that we play this ODI format. We know they’re a talented side. They are the world champs, and probably for the first time for a little while it’s an opportunity for us to come hard at them,” she added.Australia Women: Alyssa Healy (w/c), Georgia Voll, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Sophie Molineux, Annabel Sutherland, Alana King, Kim Garth, Phoebe Litchfield, Darcie Brown, Nicola Carey.India Women: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur, Shafali Verma, Kashvee Gautam, Amanjot Kaur, Uma Chetry, Vaishnavi Sharma.SCROLL DOWN TO FOLLOW LIVE UPDATES OF INDIA VS AUSTRALIA FIRST WOMEN’S ODILive UpdatesSmriti Mandhana takes centerstage in Adelaide, and finds substantial supporting acts, as India beat Australia in T20I legIndia vice-captain Smriti Mandhana in action.

Harmanpreet Kaur and Co achieved both those milestones on Saturday at the Adelaide Oval with an impressive all-round performance as they beat the world No 1 in their own backyard to clinch the T20I leg of the multi-format series 2-1. There were no trophies handed out after the match on Saturday (there are points for wins in each of the three formats to decide the overall winner at the end of the Test match in Perth), but this first leg of India’s tour Down Under was the most important, given the T20 World Cup a few months away. Which makes India’s achievement a strong statement – the ODI World Champions are gunning for the 20-over title too.
