Hobart To Host Two ODI's In India Women's Tour To Australia 2026

The third Women's ODI between Australia and India on the 2026 tour has been moved from Melbourne's Junction Oval to Hobart's Bellerive Oval, though the match will still be played on March 1, 2026.

The change was forced due to planning delays at the Junction Oval, where the newly installed lights won't be ready on time to stage the day-night fixture & some parts of the venue are inaccessible to fans.

With the second ODI already scheduled in Hobart on February 27, rescheduling the third as a day game in Melbourne was ruled out due to the short turnaround between matches. As a result, Hobart will now host two of the three ODIs.

The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was unavailable due to ongoing renovation work at the venue.

India's tour of Australia will run from February 15 to March 9, 2026, comprising three T20Is, three ODIs, and a four-day Test.
