They recorded their first victory in the fourth match held at the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium, Patna; however, a loss in the sixth match led to the series being tied.[3] India secured their first overseas victory in a one-off series against South Africa in 2002.[4] As of October 2022[update], they have played 38 Test matches against five different opponents—Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand and the West Indies. In terms of victories, they have been most successful against England and South Africa with two wins against each of them.[5][6]

They won the WODI series during their tour 1999 of England.[3] They were the runner-up at the 2005 and the 2017 World Cup tournaments.[8] As of October 2022[update], they have played 301 WODIs against twelve different opponents, and have the fourth highest number of victories (164) for any team in the format;[13] They have recorded 81 wins and have been the fifth most successful team in the T20 format.[14] Since their first Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) against England in August 2006, India have played 151 matches.[15] They have been most successful against Bangladesh with eleven wins against them.[16] They were among the semi-finalists in the 2009 and 2010 ICC Women's World Twenty20 tournaments.[17][18]
