The reigning ODI World Cup champions are riding high with a historic T20I series triumph Indian Women are going to take Australian Women In the first ODI of the three-match series at the Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday, February 24. The match carries a lot of significance as it marks the start of Australian captain Alyssa Healy’s farewell tour.
India’s stunning 2-1 T20I series win marked Australia’s first bilateral series defeat since 2017 and boosted their growing confidence following last year’s ODI World Cup semi-final win over the hosts in Mumbai. The psychological edge belongs to Harmanpreet Kaur’s side, who has entered the 50-over format.
For Australia, the series represents a chance to restore order ahead of the T20 World Cup in June, while also saying goodbye to Healy. The legendary wicketkeeper, who missed the T20I leg, returns to lead the side in their final ODI outings before retiring after the one-off Test in Perth.

Gabba Pitch Report
In ODIs, the Gabba has gained a reputation as a place where batsmen can enjoy their time, especially in day-night matches. Under lights, the pitch tends to settle nicely, allowing the ball to come into the bat with good pace and bounce. Batsmen often find value for their shots and, once set, can score freely. However, there is a tactical twist.
History shows that teams who choose to bowl first and keep the opposition below 230 runs usually have a strong advantage. The reason is simple: it can be more comfortable to chase at the Gabba under the lights, the conditions favor a cleaner hit and better timing.
