Series opener tonight at SCG

Hope the weather will be fine

Great series before the NRL season proper starts (dont count vegas)

Confident India provide Molineux with tough start​

The winner will be decided by the points system across the multi-format series which features three T20Is, three ODIs and a day-night Test

This series starts with the T20Is, which will see Sophie Molineux take charge of Australia, before three ODIs and a one-off Test in Perth - the latter two elements providing the swansong to Alyssa Healy's magnificent career. The points system is in place - unlike when Australia visited India in 2024-25 where each format was separate - with two for a win in the white-ball matches and four on offer for a Test victory (two for a draw).

"That [the World Cup] was a different format, and T20 is a different format," India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said. "Being world champions always gives you a lot of confidence, but every time you step on the ground, you have to start from ball one. T20 is something that as a team we all really enjoy playing, and playing against Australia is always fun."

The schedule of global tournaments means there will be a heavy T20 focus over the next couple of years: there's the 2026 T20 World Cup in June, a new Champions Trophy in 2027, the LA Olympics in 2028, and then another T20 World Cup. Following Healy's retirement, it will be interesting to see how many of the Australia side make it through all that.
