India Women’s National Cricket Team vs Australia Women’s National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: Opener Pratika Rawal and captain Harmanpreet Kaur struck half-centuries to guide India to 251 for nine against Australia women's national cricket team in the second women’s One-Day International on Friday, February 27, 2026. India, trailing 0-1 in the three-match series, needed a solid batting effort and received it from Rawal and Harmanpreet after opting to bat.

Rawal made 52 off 81 balls, hitting six fours, and shared a 78-run opening partnership with Smriti Mandhana, who scored 31. The pair took advantage of favourable batting conditions to give India a steady start.

However, India lost momentum in the middle overs due to poor shot selection. Mandhana missed a paddle sweep against Ashleigh Gardner and was bowled after the ball struck her leg stump. Gardner finished with two wickets for 39 runs.

Jemimah Rodrigues scored 11 before edging a delivery outside off stump to the wicketkeeper off Annabel Sutherland, who returned figures of two for 37.

Deepti Sharma was caught at deep midwicket for one while attempting to accelerate against Alana King. King, who took two for 41, later trapped Richa Ghosh leg before wicket for 22.

Harmanpreet then steadied the innings with a 54 off 70 balls, including two fours and a six. She found support from Kashvee Gautam, who made 25, as the duo added 55 runs for the seventh wicket to take India past the 200-run mark.

India finished on 251 for nine in their 50 overs and will look to defend the total to level the series.

Scorecard: India Women 251 for nine in 50 overs (Pratika Rawal 52, Harmanpreet Kaur 54; Annabel Sutherland 2/37) vs Australia Women.
