Despite commendable half-centuries by middle-order batters Raghvi Bist and Tejal Hasabnis, India A Women were defeated by Australia A in their opening one-day match. The hosts secured a four-wicket win, thanks to Katie Mack's impressive century on Wednesday.

This loss marks the fourth consecutive defeat for India A on their tour of Australia, following a 0-3 whitewash in the T20 series in Brisbane. India set a modest target of 250, largely due to Tejal's 53 and Raghvi's 82, but were outplayed by Mack's 129 runs.

Australia's opener Katie Mack formed fruitful partnerships, notably a century stand with skipper Tahlia McGrath, leading the team to an easy win in the first game of the three-match one-day series.
