Sydney welcomes the Indian women’s cricket juggernaut as they settle in for a grueling multi-format series against Australia from February 15. Encompassing T20Is, ODIs, and a Test, it’s a comprehensive test of endurance and excellence.
Monday’s BCCI Women video on social media captured the squad’s high energy, captained by the unflappable Harmanpreet Kaur, with Smriti Mandhana as her trusted lieutenant across formats.
Post-WPL euphoria with RCB’s double triumph, Mandhana emphasized duty over revelry. ‘Lots of fun lately, but national service comes first,’ she expressed in the official X video.
T20 series blueprint: Sydney (15th), Canberra (19th), Adelaide (21st)—vital stepping stones to the 2026 T20 World Cup (June 12-July 5).
ODIs ignite in Brisbane (24th Feb), Hobart twice (28th Feb, 1st Mar). Perth hosts the Test from March 6.
The narrative arcs with Alyssa Healy’s retirement swan song after this tour. As bats clash and strategies unfold, this series could reshape rankings and rivalries, captivating cricket enthusiasts everywhere.
