Watch Australia Women vs India Women 1st ODI on ABC Sport with Quentin Hull, Zane Bojack and Ned Hall Calling the Action

Cricket fans in the UK, Australia, India and South Africa are in for a treat with the Australia Women vs India Women 1st ODI on 24 February 2026 at The Gabba or Allan Border Field in Brisbane. Tune into ABC Sport for live coverage starting at 03:50 UK time, bringing you every boundary and wicket from this thrilling day-night 50-over clash in the India Women tour of Australia ODI series 2025/26[2][3][5][6]. This match, Women's ODI no. 1527, promises high stakes following recent intense encounters between these powerhouses[2].

ABC Sport leads the broadcast with a stellar commentary team featuring main commentators Quentin Hull, Zane Bojack and Ned Hall, alongside co-commentators Kirsten Pike and Joanne Broadbent. Quentin Hull, a veteran voice in Australian cricket broadcasting, has covered countless internationals with his sharp insights honed over decades calling domestic and international matches for ABC and other networks. Zane Bojack brings his energetic style, known from Big Bash League coverage where his quick wit has endeared him to fans across Australia. Ned Hall, rising through ranks with ABC Sport, offers analytical depth from his playing days as a domestic cricketer turned pundit.

The co-commentators add former player expertise: Kirsten Pike, ex-Australian allrounder with over 50 ODIs, represented Australia in the 1990s and now provides tactical breakdowns based on her frontline experience. Joanne Broadbent, a former Australia Women batter who played 29 ODIs including the 1997 World Cup triumph, shares invaluable perspectives on batting strategies and team dynamics from her post-retirement media career.

Australia Women, captained by new all-format skipper Sophie Molineux after Alyssa Healy's retirement, boast stars like Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Tahlia McGrath and Phoebe Litchfield[2][5]. Their recent form shows dominance but also vulnerabilities, losing to India in the Women's World Cup last October[2]. India Women, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, feature explosive openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, plus allrounders Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur, with fresh faces like Pratika Rawal returning from injury[2][4].

This ODI series follows a T20I leg, building rivalry with Australia hosting three ODIs: 24 Feb, 27 Feb and 1 March 2026[5]. Fans can catch the action live on ABC Sport in Australia, while Indian viewers might access via BCCI platforms or Star Sports/JioCinema for highlights[6]. UK and South African audiences can stream via digital partners.

Recent head-to-heads underline the competitiveness: Australia beat India in September 2025 ODIs but fell short in World Cup clashes[2]. With rain potentially playing a role as in prior games, expect edge-of-seat cricket. For more on the series details, check official previews[5].

Don't miss Quentin Hull and team narrating potential milestones at this iconic venue. Whether you're backing Alyssa Healy's successors or Harmanpreet Kaur's charges, this 1st ODI sets the tone for a blockbuster tour.
