Shreyanka to bowl the final over. FOUR! Sutherland hits and over short mid off for a boundary. OUT! Next ball, the batter tries to go down the crease and go big but misses as the ball clatters into the stumps. Another WICKET! Molineux thinks that Jemimah catches her out, but the Indian spills the ball. However, Shreyanka runs Molineux out at the non-striker’s end. SIX to end the over as Litchfield end’s Australia’s innings with a bang. 152 to win for India.
Deepti with the ball. Litchfield hits it towards mid off as the ball is just short of Harmanpreet. OUT! Perry goes for the big one towards deep mid wicket but Sajana takes the catch safely. Annabel Sutherland comes in and hits a FOUR straightaway towards fine leg.
Radha with the ball. Close! A direct hit there from Deepti could have sent Litchfield back to the dugout. A flurry of singles to end the over with five runs.
Deepti with the ball and she is hit for a FOUR right at the off by Phoebe Litchfield down the ground. NOT OUT! Litchfield was caught before wicket but a review showed the ball pitching outside leg. However, the batter had gone for a switch-hit, which prompted the Indian players telling the on-field umpire the same. Litchfield stays on. FOUR!

OUT! Huge wicket for India as Deepti Sharma sends Grace Harris back! The batter hits it towards short mid wicket but Smriti Mandhana is there to take the catch. Ashleigh Gardner the newest batter at the crease. A wicket and just four runs from the over.
Arundhati returns. FOUR! Shouts of ‘catch it’ are vain as Harris hits it down the ground for a boundary. Harris ends the over with another FOUR as she turns and twists to send the ball, going outside leg, towards deep backward square leg.
Radha Yadav brought in to bowl. She is instantly welcomed by the Australian skipper with a FOUR. DROPPED! McGrath is dropped by skipper Harmanpreet at short mid off. OUT! McGrath goes down the crease for the big one but catches air. Richa Ghosh stumps her out with ease. The skipper goes off for a well-made 32.
Renuka with the ball. Close! McGrath is almost caught out in the deep but the shot falls just short of Pooja Vastrakar. The batters run between the sticks to notch up six runs. But more drama ensues as Harmanpreet has gone upstairs for a lbw check on the McGrath. The skipper will remain at the crease for a bit more at least, as the review shows the ball missing the wickets.
Deepti Sharma into the attack. Harris sweeps the first delivery to deep mid wicket, one run. A single through the on side for McGrath. Harris punches the fourth to mid on for another single. BEATEN! McGrath tries to reverse sweep but misses. Two runs on the final delivery.
Arundhati to McGrath, two runs through mid wicket. She cuts the next to sweeper cover for a single. Shelled! Harris hits straight to Deepti Sharma at point who cannot grab the chance. FOUR! McGrath clears mid off.
Vastrakar for her second over. India appeals for a leg before as Harris is struck on the back foot. The height is an issue and Harmanpreet decides against a review. FOUR! McGrath steps out and creams this through covers. Vastrakar follows it up with a bouncer. A single to extra cover on the next delivery. FOUR more! Harris shuffles across and ramps this past the keeper.
Arundhati Reddy for the first time today. On the pads to start off and Harris picks a single to deep backward square. A leg bye for McGrath. A quick single for Harris through mid off. McGrath pushes to long on and adds a run. Harris cuts to deep point and makes it five runs from the over.

Renuka again. Starts with a wide. A single to deep mid wicket for Harris. McGrath tucks away the third delivery through mid wicket for a single. A bye on the next ball. McGrath drives the fifth but a diving save from Jemimah keeps it to just one run. Another leg bye to fine leg. Six runs from the over.
Pooja Vastrakar to McGrath, taps to third man for a single. Another run for Harris through the off side on the fifth delivery. FOUR, angling on McGrath’s pads and she guides it away to the boundary.
Indian spinner Asha Sobhana suffered a knee injury minutes before the start of her side’s crucial game against Australia in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 and was forced to sit out the match. Radha Yadav was named as her replacement.
Renuka to Harris, one run as she heaves to deep mid wicket. Renuka struggling with her lines, gives away FIVE WIDES. Looks like there was pad. A single for Mooney on the next. WICKET! Mooney is caught at point. Mooney square cuts a full delivery but holes out to Radha Yadav.
Beth Mooney c Radha b Renuka Singh 2 (7)
Another one! Georgia Wareham is given leg before. Two in two for Renuka. A sharp nip backer is too good for Wareham.

Grace Harris and Beth Mooney to open for Australia.
Renuka Singh Thakur with the new ball. Richa Ghosh up at the stumps. Asha Shobana not on the field at the moment. FOUR! A little bit of width from Harris, cut away through point. A wide adds to Australia’s total. Two runs on the fifth delivery through square leg.
Asha Shobana has hurt her ankle. She stepped weirdly when warming up right before anthems, pings Lavanya Lakshmi Narayanan from the ground.
