18:13 Local Time, 07:13 GMT, 12:43 IST: Quite an improved batting performance from India Women compared to the previous ODI, but it still may not be sufficient to truly test Australia Women in these conditions. The Indian openers provided a steady foundation, putting on 78 runs in the first 16 overs. However, the momentum dipped slightly when Smriti Mandhana fell while attempting an ambitious stroke off Ashleigh Gardner. Pratika Rawal looked composed and brought up a well-crafted half-century, but her promising knock was cut short by an unfortunate run-out, with Harmanpreet Kaur at the other end. India then endured a slight wobble through the middle overs, losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite that phase, Harmanpreet Kaur anchored the innings smartly, building a few crucial partnerships that stabilized the scoring rate. Her composure and a few cameos towards the end ensured India posted a competitive total on the board. For Australia, King, Gardner and Sutherland claimed two wickets apiece, and they did so while keeping the scoring in check, delivering impressive economical spells.
