India and Australia Women are set to clash in the second ODI of their three-match series on Wednesday, September 17, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Punjab. Australia hold a 1-0 lead after a dominant eight-wicket win in the opener, where Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney and Annabel Sutherland powered the chase of 282.
India showed promise with the bat through Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol, but their bowling and fielding lacked the sharpness needed at this level. The hosts will now look to bounce back and level the series, while Australia aim to seal it with back-to-back wins.

India vs Australia Women: Expected playing XIs and team news
India Women Team News
India will look for a stronger all-round performance in the second ODI after their eight-wicket loss in the opener. The opening stand of 114 between Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal was a big positive, but the middle order, featuring Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, and Deepti Sharma, needs to step up and convert starts into match-winning scores.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has already admitted that 281 was not enough against a batting powerhouse like Australia, so India’s focus will be on batting deeper and fielding more sharply. Sneh Rana, despite a costly outing in the first game, remains a key bowling option who can use the conditions better this time.
India Women (predicted playing XI): Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Radha Yadav, Deepti Sharma, Renuka Singh, Kranti Gour, N Charani
Australia Women Team News
Australia head into the second ODI full of confidence after chasing down 281 with ease. The top order looks solid, with Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Phoebe Litchfield, and Annabel Sutherland all in form. Litchfield was the standout with a brilliant 88, while Mooney and Sutherland ensured a smooth finish.
The only concern for Australia is the fitness of Ellyse Perry, who retired hurt on 30 in the first game and remains a doubtful starter. Megan Schutt led the bowling attack effectively and the visitors will back their experienced unit to seal the series in Mullanpur.
Australia Women (predicted playing XI): Phoebe Litchfield, Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt
