IND W vs AUS W: The Indian women’s cricket team will wear pink jerseys in the decisive match of the three-match ODI series against Australia on September 20. The reason behind this is very special. This step has been taken to raise awareness about breast cancer. Buoyed by a record win in the second match, the Indian women’s team will play the third match in Delhi. The most common cancers in women in India are breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers. Of these, breast and uterine cancers account for 40% of cases.
Harmanpreet, Pratika Rawal, and Sneh Rana said in a BCCI video, “This pink jersey is a reminder of a great struggle. This pink jersey is not just a symbol. Every day we train for uncertainties, and this pink jersey reminds us to be prepared and have the strength to fight this battle against breast cancer.”
India enters the decisive match against Australia in Delhi on September 20 with the intention of winning its first women’s ODI series. The hosts have never defeated the world champions in a bilateral series. After losing the first match, Harmanpreet and her team bounced back with a resounding 102-run victory.

Defeating Australia is no easy task for the Indian players. India will have to perform well in every department of the game to win. After a crushing defeat in the first match, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team made a remarkable comeback, winning the second match by 102 runs, which was Australia’s most significant defeat in terms of runs. However, the Indian team dropped six catches in the second match, bringing the total to 10 catches in two games. It is already done.
