India's momentum and bowling strength
The visitors produced a disciplined performance in the first T20I, where the seamers played a pivotal role in dismantling the Australian batting line-up. Arundhati Reddy was the standout performer, claiming 4 for 22 to earn the Player of the Match award. Renuka Singh Thakur provided the early breakthrough, ensuring Australia never found their rhythm before they were eventually bowled out for 133.
With the bat, Shafali Verma showed glimpses of her explosive form, striking a quick-fire 21 before rain interrupted play. The Indian management will be pleased with the balance of the squad, as the team looks to maintain their aggressive approach on a Canberra pitch that historically offers a fair contest between bat and ball.
Australia seek to bounce back
For the world number one-ranked Australians, this match is a crucial test of resilience. Under the new leadership of Sophie Molineux, the "Southern Stars" will be eager to level the series and keep their hopes alive. Despite the loss in Sydney, there were positives in the performances of Georgia Wareham and Phoebe Litchfield, both of whom attempted to stabilise the innings during the collapse.

The Australian side is expected to make tactical adjustments to counter the Indian seam attack. Given the points-based nature of this multi-format tour—which also includes three ODIs and a one-off Test—Australia cannot afford another slip-up if they wish to remain in a strong position for the overall trophy.
