After winning the toss and electing to bat first, Australia Women's team wanted to take advantage of the pitch of Wankhede, given the batting friendly nature of the iconic stadium in Mumbai. However, that wasn't the case as Australia got off to a horrible start and were already stuttering at 7/2 inside two overs. The ever-consistent Beth Mooney and Tahila McGrath restored stability and registered an 80-run stand before Sneh Rana got rid off Tahila McGrath. Australia were bundled out for the score of 219 with Pooja Vastrakar being the pick of the bowlers.
Deepti Sharma continued her purple patch with the bat as she scored 78 to take India past 400 and India finished their first innings on 406. Australia in reply couldn't match with the Indian bowling as they got bundled out for 261 and India chased the target of 75 with ease and registered an eight-wicket victory over the Australia Women.
