AUS vs IND, Women’s only Test schedule
Broadcast and Live Streaming details

The historic W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth is set to host a high-stakes, one-off Women’s Test between Australia and India starting March 6, 2026. This match serves as the grand finale of India’s multi-format tour of Australia and carries significant emotional weight as the farewell appearance of Australian legend .

Australia enter the Test with an 8–4 lead in the multi-format series, having swept the ODIs 3–0 after India took the T20I leg 2–1. While the series trophy is already out of India’s reach, this match is about pride and history. India won the last encounter between these two sides at the Wankhede in 2023 and will be looking for back-to-back Test wins against the Aussies for the first time.

For Australia, the focus is on a perfect send-off for Healy, who recently smashed 158 in her final ODI. For India, it’s a test of their temperament in fast, bouncy conditions—a stark contrast to the subcontinental tracks where they have recently thrived.
