Hobart's Bellerive Oval to Stage Two India Women's ODIs in 2026 Series

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

The switch was forced by planning delays at the Junction Oval, where newly installed lights will not be ready for a day-night fixture, and parts of the venue would have been 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 MCG was also unavailable during this period due to renovation works.

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