With extensive half -centers from Georgia Voll and Elly Perry and a wonderful start of the skipper, the stage was completely ready for the middle order for capitalizing, and Moeney too. With a great hundred she brought Australia to a score of 412.
Although Smriti Mandhana and skipper HarmanPrreet Kaur brought a breathtaking partnership for women into blue after the two early fired, Australians were immediately back in the game when Kim Garth returned to the attack and the Indian skipper dismissed.
After the Wicket of Smriti Mandhana fell, the Indian team was quickly 5 wickets in no time. The Wicket of Richa Ghosh was a further big blow, because DETTI Sharma, in addition to Radha Yadav, wants to sew a partnership to help India. After the resignation of the two permanent batters, it looks like a distant task.
