The multi-format series between Australia and India reaches its conclusion tomorrow, 6 March 2026, with a historic one-off pink-ball Test at the WACA Ground in Perth. While Australia have already secured the overall series trophy with an 8–4 points lead, India aim to secure a historic fourth consecutive Test victory and level the points table.

Australia dominated the recent ODI leg with a 3–0 sweep, overturning India’s early 2–1 lead from the T20I series. Under the multi-format points system, a Test victory offers four points. A win for Harmanpreet Kaur’s side would result in a drawn series at 8–8, although the silverware remains with the hosts.
