India Women tour Australia in late November 2026 through January 2027 for a marquee multi-format outing comprising one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is. Test starts are 10:00 AM AEDT (4:30 AM IST), ODIs start at 2:00 PM AEDT (8:30 AM IST) and T20Is at 7:00 PM AEDT (1:30 PM IST). Broadcast in Australia is on Foxtel via Fox Cricket with Kayo OTT, while Indian fans get the tour on JioHotstar streaming with Star Sports television. Tickets release through Cricket Australia's Ticketmaster portal in tranches, with tier prices indicative from 25 AUD for general admission to 250 AUD for premium hospitality. The tour is the highest-profile Indian women's away outing of the cycle and follows the Women's T20 World Cup 2026.

Tour Schedule

The 2026-27 tour is scheduled to land just after the Indian women's home World Cup window concludes in October, giving the Indian side roughly six weeks of recovery before the Australian summer.

Tickets and Pricing (Indicative)

Cricket Australia's Ticketmaster portal handles allocation. Pricing for women's international cricket has risen this cycle but remains modest compared to men's Tests.

TierT20I (North Sydney)ODI (Adelaide)Test (SCG)
General Admission25 AUD30 AUD35 AUD
Reserved Stand50 AUD60 AUD70 AUD
Premium Stand95 AUD110 AUD130 AUD
Pavilion150 AUD175 AUD200 AUD
Hospitality250 AUD275 AUD300 AUD

Family packages and member-window pre-sales are typical. Cricket Australia's women's cricket pricing strategy aims to balance accessibility with the rising commercial value of the women's game.

Venue Logistics

Sydney's SCG hosts the marquee Test, with strong public-transport access via Central station and a 15-minute walk through Moore Park. North Sydney Oval is across the Harbour Bridge with Sydney Trains' Milsons Point station the closest. Melbourne's Junction Oval at St Kilda has tram access via routes 16 and 96. Adelaide Oval is in the city centre, walking distance from Adelaide railway station. Hobart's Bellerive Oval requires a short cab from the city. Perth's WACA is in East Perth with bus and train access.

Multi-Format Tour Build-Up

This tour is the most significant women's away outing for India in the cycle. The build-up storyline, including Smriti Mandhana's opening partner search, Renuka Singh's workload management and the post-WC squad continuity, is captured in our India Women tour Australia 2026 build-up tests Rohit Sharma comments preview. Squad expectations through 2026-27 are in our Women's T20 World Cup 2026 India squad prediction analysis page. The wider economic and pay-equity context for women's cricket in India sits in our Women's cricket pay gap India 2026 analysis.

What to Watch For

The SCG Test in mid-December is the headline. India's last red-ball outing in Australia was in 2021, and this will be their first away Test under the current generation of Indian women's cricket leadership. The tour's T20I and ODI legs serve dual purposes: World Cup-cycle progression toward the 2027 ODI Women's World Cup, and tactical experimentation in conditions that differ from sub-continental formats. Australia's top order with Mooney, Healy and Perry remains the strongest in the world, and India's pace bowling response โ€” Renuka, Pooja Vastrakar, the new-ball plan โ€” is the watch-out. Brisbane T20I and the SCG Test bookend the tour's narrative; the ODIs in between will tell us how the format-rotation policy is settling for both sides.
