India Women’s Cricket Team Set for Bellerive Oval Showdown in 2026 ODIs

The third Women’s ODI between Australia and India on their 2026 tour has been moved from Melbourne’s Junction Oval to Hobart’s Bellerive Oval. However, it will still take place on March 1, 2026.

The relocation was necessary due to planning delays at the Junction Oval. The new lights won’t be ready for a day-night game, and some areas would be off-limits to fans. With the second ODI already set for Hobart on February 27, moving the third game back to Melbourne was impractical due to the tight schedule. Consequently, Hobart will host two of the series’ three ODIs.

The MCG was unavailable during this time due to ongoing renovations.

India’s tour of Australia runs from February 15 to March 9, 2026, featuring three T20Is, three ODIs, and a four-day Test match.
