India Women vs Australia Women 2022: Live Streaming, Telecast Details, Schedule and Squads for T20I series

Two months ahead of the T20 World Cup in South Africa, the Indian women's team lock horns with Australia in a five-match T20I series, starting from Friday (December 8). All the five matches will be held across two venues in Mumbai.

Harmanpreet Kaur-led team had far from an ideal build up to the home series, but the Indian women's cricket team will be keen to give a tough time to the all-conquering Australia as they aim to exactly know where they stand ahead of the show-piece tournament.

Head coach Ramesh Powar was suddenly sacked three days before the series opener and former India batter Hrishikesh Kanitkar is now in charge of the support staff as the designated batting coach.

The Indian eves managed to win the Asia Cup in October though they were guilty of experimenting a tad too much which cost them a league game against Pakistan.

In the recent past, India have managed to compete against the mighty Australia but failed to get over the line. One such case was their last meeting in the Commonwealth Games final in August when India threw it away after a blinder from Harmanpreet in the run chase.

India have selected a familiar looking squad barring two additions in leg-spinning all-rounder Devika Vaidya, who returns to the T20 side after eight years, and the uncapped left-arm seamer Anjali Sarvani.

Meanwhile, the visitors Australia, who will be led by Alyssa Healy in Meg Lanning's absence, have fresh faces in the line-up. 19-year-old batter Phoebe Litchfield who is expected to fill the retired Rachael Haynes' shoes, ex-Ireland pacer Kim Garth and Heather Graham are the ones in line to make their Australia debut.
