No change in playing-11
Both the teams came on the field without any changes. If India had won the third and decisive T20, it would have been successful in winning a series against Australia in this format for the first time at home, but this remained a dream. Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s form remains a cause for concern. In the last 11 innings across all formats, she has not been able to reach double figures in eight.
