IND vs AUS: Match Summary
Australia’s captain, Alyssa Healy won the toss and invited India to bat first. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal put up a show, scoring 80 and 75, respectively.
However, the rest of the batters were unable to sustain this strong start. Harleen Deol and Harmanpreet Kaur (captain of the Indian team) looked in good touch, but gave away their wickets cheaply. Richa Ghosh had a spark, but was dismissed at 32. What followed was a lower order collapse, as India were bowled out at 330.
Healy played a vital role in opening the chase, scoring 142. Ellyse Perry, too, had a fiery outing before getting retired hurt due to cramps.
India picked a bit of momentum from the 39th over. The batting side was down to 7 wickets in the 46th over. Perry, however, was back on the field by that point. Forming a partnership with Kim Garth, she then finished the match with a six, with one over to spare.
