Australia Defeat India by Six Wickets in First Women's ODI at Brisbane

India Women, reigning ODI world champions, began their three-match ODI series against Australia at Brisbane's Gabba following a historic T20I series win. India won the toss and chose to bat first but were bowled out for 214, with notable contributions from Smriti Mandhana (58) and Harmanpreet Kaur (53). Australia, led by Alyssa Healy in her farewell ODI series, comfortably chased the target with half-centuries from Healy (50) and Beth Mooney (76), securing a six-wicket victory and leveling the multi-format series 2-2. Injuries affected both sides, and the series will continue with two more ODIs and a one-off Test.
