Navi Mumbai: The culmination of a long and mixed home season brings the Indian women’s cricket team one last opportunity to register a maiden T20I series triumph over Australia at home when the two sides square off in the series-decider here Tuesday.

With the three-match affair levelled 1-1, Harmanpreet Kaur’s India have a chance to beat the reigning world champions Australia in their own den and kick off the 2024 T20I World Cup year in style.

India have only one series win to show against Australia’s four in their five-series bilateral T20I history. Their triumph in an away affair in 2015-16 sits atop in the list of achievements for this side.

However, having registered historic wins in one-off Tests earlier this season against both Australia and England, India would want to make this one last opportunity count.

India were on a roll in the first game and thrashed Australia by a record margin of nine wickets but their batters cut a sorry figure in the second. A tricky pitch here at the DY Patil Stadium Sunday did not allow batters to flourish.

While heavy dew in the first half of the game assisted India’s charge with the bat, the absence of it in the second made the job of containing the Australian batters difficult.

But to their credit, the Indian bowlers did well to take the game as deep as possible with some tight lines and sharp fielding. However, the home team’s fielding has only been sporadically good.

Kaur’s own form with the bat will remain a huge concern for the hosts, who were humbled by six wickets in the second game.

The Indian captain has not made a fifty yet in 10 matches so far across formats in these games. She has seven single-digit scores now in 11 innings including the first T20I wherein her services were not required.

“Every player cannot have a good day everyday, but suddenly anyone can have a very good day. It is not the case that we are (right away) aiming for big shots but we are trying to play (as per the) merit of the ball,” all-rounder Deepti Sharma told the media after the match when asked if Kaur’s form was a concern for the team.

Deepti waged a lone battle of sorts with a combative all-round performance in the second game scoring a 27-ball 31 in a faltering Indian innings to give them some late impetus, and also fought hard with the ball to take the first two wickets of the four Australian wickets to fall.

The pitches for the two T20Is so far have not allowed batters to go berserk, especially in the first innings, allowing the bowlers to dominate the proceedings.

“It has been a really good contest between bat and ball, there is something in it for both the batters and the bowlers,” said Australia’s player of the match on Sunday Kim Garth.

“Especially, coming from the wicket that we played on the Test match, (it) was a lot more challenging for the batters, so it has been really pleasing that there has been a bit in it for the bowlers, particularly with the new ball,” she added.

Deepti also found the pitch for the second game a challenging one to bat on.

“…It was not an easy wicket to bat on. The ball was turning as well as getting slow (off the surface). I think we were about 15 runs short…,” she replied when asked what went wrong for India.

Squads:

India: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Yastika Bhatia (wk), Richa Ghosh (wk), Amanjot Kaur, Shreyanka Patil, Mannat Kashyap, Saika Ishaque, Renuka Singh Thakur, Titas Sadhu, Pooja Vastrakar, Kanika Ahuja, Minnu Mani.

Australia: Darcie Brown, Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Alyssa Healy (c&wk), Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath (vc), Beth Mooney (wk), Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham.

Time: 7:00 PM IST.
