India Women 32/0 in 5.1 Overs | India vs Australia Live Score, 2nd Women ODI: India opt to bat against Australia



India vs Australia Live Score, 2nd Women ODI: With the multi-format series locked at 4-4, India elected to bat after winning the toss in the second ODI against Australia at Bellerive Oval today. The visitors are aiming to bounce back after Australia clinched the first ODI in Brisbane, and team changes reflected a tactical shift. Shafali Verma and Renuka Singh Thakur were rested, paving the way for Amanjot Kaur’s inclusion and an ODI debut for left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma as India look to add variety to their attack.

Harmanpreet Kaur continued her remarkable run at the toss, making it five consecutive ODI wins, and reassured fans about her fitness after concerns over a left knee issue in the previous game. “I’m fine now… I just got a niggle,” she clarified, confirming she is ready to contribute fully.

Australia, meanwhile, replaced the injured Sophie Molineux with Nicola Carey. Molineux has been sidelined with a lower back problem, and Cricket Australia confirmed she will be assessed ahead of the upcoming West Indies tour, where she is expected to assume full-time captaincy duties. Reflecting on conditions, Alyssa Healy noted that bowling first on a pitch with some live grass could offer an early advantage.
