A test of character awaits Harmanpreet Kaur’s India Women in the second ODI against Australia on Saturday if they are to end their losing streak at home against the rampant visitors and keep the three-match series alive.

India were outplayed thoroughly in the first ODI on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium despite the hosts notching up their highest-ever total against Australia—282-8—riding on the brilliance of Jemimah Rodrigues (82) and Pooja Vastrakar (62 not out).
