Australia are no pushovers especially in white-ball cricket and Harmanpreet Kaur and co. will have to be their superlative best to beat the visitors. The three-match ODI series will also be played in Mumbai. Alyssa Healy and team will look to avenge the defeat from the Test match.
India have been in top form winning their last three contests — two Tests and one T20I — after losing the first two T20Is to England and concede the three-match series in this long home season.

Given their current form, India will eye more success in the fixtures lined up but the Indian women's cricket team would know that it has a huge task cut out against Australia who have historically dominated them in 50-overs cricket.
India have only 10 wins and 40 losses to show from 50 ODIs against Australia overall, while at home, their record has been simply terrible. With only four wins in 21 ODIs and 17 defeats at home, India have not beaten Australia in any of their last seven matches playing at home since February 2007.

In fact, the last time India and Australia played ODI cricket at the Wankhede Stadium, the home team suffered heavy defeats in March 2012, losing by 221 runs and five wickets in the last two ODIs of the three-match series.
India had lost the opening ODI heavily at Ahmedabad by 30 runs and were eventually whitewashed.
