India women’s team defeated mighty Aussies in the one-off test match at Wankhede Stadium.

India women’s cricket team has scripted history after defeating mighty Australians at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. India have won the one-off test match played against the Australia women’s team by a huge margin of 8 wickets and registered their first-ever test victory against the opponents. Indian batting lineup was the star of the game as they put a dominating 406 runs on the board in the first innings and put Australia under pressure.

Indian fans are elated after their consecutive test victories in the ongoing home season. India women’s cricket team recently thrashed the England women’s team as well in the only test match played at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. Smriti Mandhana’s match-winning boundary over the bowler’s head will be remembered for a long time as this shot makes a huge impact on the red-ball format.

Australian women’s team struggled a lot in the batting department on a spin-friendly Wankhede wicket. Right-arm medium pacer Pooja Vastrakar (4/53) and off-spinner Sneh Rana (3/56) along with all-rounder Deepti Sharma (2/45) rattled the Aussies in the first innings and bowled them out for just 219 runs. Indian batters had a great two days and put up 406 runs on the board in the first innings.

Here’s how twitter reacted to India women’s cricket team’s win over Australia in the one-off test:

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM INDIA on beating Australia for the first time in Women's Tests! @Vastrakarp25 & @SnehRana15 were immaculate with the ball, and the batting unit rallied around to record this historic triumph. Two Test victories on the trot, well played! 🇮🇳👏… pic.twitter.com/n0812yvXZJ

A complete team performance. Aus did put Ind under pressure a few times in the Test but someone always put their hand up and helped team wrestle back control. Well played Team India, great effort to beat both Eng and Aus👏🏽 Women's cricket is picking up big time 🙌🏽 #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/OBZ4uJiRVJ

Fantastic performance. To beat Australia is a huge step forward and it is heartwarming to see so many players raise their game and show that they are a force. Such a team performance. We normally use that expression loosely but everyone so obviously played a part. #INDvAUS

Was privileged to cover the Indian team dominate literally the entire Test before rain ruined their hopes on the Gold Coast in 2021 & to now see them beat Australia for the first time & do it so comprehensively will go down as one of Indian sport’s greatest moments #IndvAus

Australian batting unite once again had a collapse after a decent fight till 206 for 4 in the second innings. India managed to get them bundled out on 261 and get a lead of 74 runs. Sneh Rana (4/63) once again shined for India in the second innings and her magnificent spell along with Rajeshwari Gaikwad (2/42) and captain Harmanpreet Kaur (2/23) provided India only 75 runs to chase and script history.

Smriti Mandhana led the charge in the second innings and took her side to a big resounding win over Australia. This was the 11th test between the two teams and Australia had a dominating run against India so far. Australia have won 4 test matches against India, while six matches ended in a draw and now India have opened their account against the mighty Australians in women’s test cricket.
