In what is set to be an important series for both sides in the lead-up to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, India will take on Australia in five T20 internationals in Mumbai starting from 9 December.
While India were more recently in action, winning the Women’s Asia Cup that was held in Bangladesh, the Australians have not been in action since clinching the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Meg Lanning-led Australia had defeated India in the final to clinch gold as women’s cricket made its debut at CWG. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co finished with silver before heading to Sylhet for their Asia Cup campaign.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed the dates for the five matches that will take place across two venues in Maharashtra, with DY Patil Stadium at Navi Mumbai and CCI in Mumbai.
