She\u2019s never made a Test hundred, but if her blazing 158 in her final ODI is anything to go by, you wouldn\u2019t bet against her ticking one last box on her way out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Australia lead the multi-format series 8-4, so India will need the four points that come with a Test victory to level things up. They were fantastic in the T20 matches, which they won 2-1, but faded in the 50-over stuff, which Australia whitewashed 3-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Australia romped home in their last Test, against a demoralised England in January 2025, 16-0 and all that; while it\u2019s been 20 months since India played in whites, thrashing South Africa by 10 wickets in Chennai.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">With the grassy banks at Perth renamed Healy Hill, Australia want a celebration for their much-loved captain. India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur will have other ideas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Play starts at 1.20pm local\/4.20pm AEDT\/10.50am IST.
