India vs Australia team news, squads
Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma should continue as the openers for India, with Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh constituting for the middle order. The trio of Renuka Singh Thakur, Radha Yadav and Arundhati Reddy will spearhead the bowling attack. The main issue to address is their recent errors in fielding.
