Australia Women vs India Women, 2nd ODI – India Women in Australia, 3 ODIs, 2026 This clash at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Friday, February 27, carries massive weight in the three-match ODI series. Australia grabbed a strong start by chasing down 215 in the opener at Allan Border Field on February 24, winning by six wickets after bowling India out for 214, but India desperately need a win here to stay alive. Local time kicks off at 14:50 (Hobart time), which is 09:20 IST.
The full name is Australia Women vs India Women, 2nd ODI in the India Women tour of Australia, 3 ODIs, 2026. Date is February 27, 2026; time is 14:50 local (Hobart AEDT) or 09:20 IST. Venue sits at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Tasmania.
Bellerive Oval offers a balanced surface, not always batter-friendly, with seamers getting early help before it eases for strokeplay—think medium scores around 250 in ODIs, favoring chases as teams batting second have won more often lately. Expect cloudy skies early with 94% cover dropping later, temps at 22°C, light E winds at 19 km/h, and just 2% rain chance for uninterrupted play.
With Australia leading 1-0 after a morale-boosting chase despite missing Ellyse Perry and Kim Garth to injuries, this becomes do-or-die for India post their T20I series loss. A win levels the series and builds momentum toward the decider, while Australia eyes a series-clinching performance on home soil ahead of bigger commitments. Healy’s farewell tour adds emotional stakes too.
Australia bounced back strong in the 1st ODI, restricting India and chasing efficiently despite T20I struggles (lost 2-1). Beth Mooney’s unbeaten 76 anchored the win, with their bowlers sharing wickets on a seaming track. India showed fight with half-tons from Mandhana (58) and Harmanpreet (53), plus Kashvee Gautam’s 43, but collapsed late—now hurting from Harmanpreet’s knee injury query and top-order woes.

Head-to-Head
Australia dominate with 48 wins to India’s 11 in 59 ODIs total. Last five: Australia won four, India one (their Oct 2025 home win by 5 wkts); recent away series saw Aus take 2-1 in India Sep 2025. In Australia, Aus hold a near-perfect record.
Australia Women Analysis
Strengths lie in depth—top-order solidity from Healy and Litchfield, middle firepower via Mooney and Sutherland, plus spin variety from Gardner (3-33 in 1st ODI) and King. Weaknesses? Perry and Garth absences test pace depth, relying on Schutt and Brown. Recent: Dominant home form, 21st straight win at prior venue. Key players: Mooney (consistent), Gardner (all-round threat), Healy (leadership, 50 in opener).
Probable XI: Alyssa Healy (c/wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown
India Women Analysis
India’s batting has promise with Mandhana’s elegance and Harmanpreet’s grit, backed by Ghosh’s keeping and Gautam’s power-hitting (3 sixes in 1st ODI). Weaknesses include fragile middle order (52/3 early) and seam exploits on green pitches; spin like Deepti underused. Recent: World Cup champs but bilateral slips, need better adaptation Down Under. Key players: Mandhana (58), Harmanpreet (53, injury?), Renuka Singh (early breakthroughs).
Probable XI: Smriti Mandhana, Pratika Rawal, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Kashvee Gautam, Renuka Singh, Sneh Rana
Key Talking Points
Healy’s captaincy return after rust shines bright in her farewell, while India’s top-order rebuild post-Rawal’s golden duck is crucial. Bellerive’s seam aid favors Aus pacers like Schutt (2-42); can India’s spinners grip? Momentum swings on Harmanpreet’s fitness and Aus injury gaps. Watch Mooney vs Indian seamers—she’s gold under pressure.
Australia’s home edge, bowling variety, and chase expertise (won opener comfy) tilt it their way on balanced Bellerive, despite missing stars. India fights hard but likely falls short—expect Aus win by 20-30 runs or 4-5 wickets if batting second. Squad depth and form give hosts 65% shot
