India won by eight wickets with a massive score of 184/5 in their first match. Australia attempted to respond, but fell quickly; Heather Knight, Nicole Bolton, Ethel Blackmore were all bowled by Hardik Pandya while Adam Zampa took two more wickets for India to put pressure on Australia which eventually struggled and were all out for just 159/6 after 20 overs.
On Friday at Canberra Cricket Ground, India are looking to maintain their dominance of this series as they defend their crown as reigning champions and seek to defend it with success in 2017. They won the inaugural edition in 2006 before finishing second twice more – most recently last year.

IND vs AUS 2nd T20I
India and Australia met again for their second Twenty20 International on Friday at Melbourne Cricket Ground, with Australia coming away victorious by four wickets thanks to Josh Hazlewood’s remarkable seam bowling that dismantled India’s top order in just 18.4 overs, which led them all out for just 125 in just 18.4 overs – their lowest total ever scored during a T20I and one of their greatest defeats ever.
Australia got off to an impressive start as they amassed 59 runs during the powerplay overs. India managed to pick three wickets during that period – Yuzvendra Chahal knocking out Matthew Wade while Shardul Thakur and Vijayyashanthi shared two scalps quickly thereafter. D’Arcy Short was eventually caught at long-off by Hardik Pandya before Marcus Stoinis and Daniel Sams added 29 runs over five overs to give Australia a comfortable advantage.
India’s openers struggled in the middle overs, but were eventually able to score 20 runs off of Sanju Samson’s smart hitting in just seven overs thanks to some smart hitting from Australia captain Meg Lanning who hit Kuldeep Yadav for sixes and fours to bring her team’s score up to 100-3 within 13.6 overs.
Jasprit Bumrah took swift action by castled Matthew Short for a duck using an extraordinary yorker, before striking again to remove Mitchel Marsh and take Australia past their target of 127 for 5 in 17.1 overs – needing only 24 runs to win their match!
But they were unable to sustain their momentum as Samson was caught out by Henriques in the 19th over. Furthermore, India’s target was reduced from 25 in the final over as Kohli and Shreyas Iyer hit some fours and sixes against Zampa bowler.
Australian were simply too good for India in T20Is, winning six consecutive victories against them to stay atop of the rankings while India now sit third overall. Australia will meet India again for their series decider in Perth on Sunday.

IND vs AUS 4th T20I
India were defeated at Lord’s on Sunday in an epic Women’s Twenty20 World Cup 2026 encounter, falling by six wickets to Australia after Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner both scored fifties as Australia chased down its 171-run target with one over remaining. Harmanpreet Kaur led India with 27-ball 56 runs but it wasn’t enough for India to advance past group stage stage because only top two teams from each group advanced.
After winning the toss, India took a cautious start, with Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma sharing an opening stand of 66 before both were dismissed within minutes – Mandhana for 38 and Verma having attempted an ungainly heave that Sophie Molineux quickly bowled out before Jemima Rodrigues also missed her maiden fifty, being caught at midwicket off Molineux as she attempted to run herself out.
Mohini Dhoni and Shikha Pandey then took control with two braces each from Mohini Dhoni and Shikha Pandey – Australia’s Beth Mooney appeared to have broken free with a big boundary off Pandey but was caught lbw three balls later off Dhoni;
Georgia Wareham holed out at long on for 22 while Phoebe Litchfield could only manage a fifty-plus opening partnership before striking out twice, hitting her own thigh pad multiple times before being sent back lbw by Pandey.
At Australia 68/3, Shree Charani struck twice in an over to bring down their deficit to 49 and remove Beth Mooney and Litchfield in one over to put the home side back in control of proceedings. Australia struggled to find their footing on Lord’s pitch with Phoebe Litchfield dropping catch attempts while Georgia Wareham also faltering.
The final over was an exciting encounter as both teams tried their best to put the game out of reach before time ran out. Harmanpreet hit Sophie Molineux for three consecutive sixes to give India some late momentum, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Australia from claiming a comprehensive win.
