IND W vs AUS W 3rd T20I LIVE Score: Shreyanka Patil has given India the upper hand with two early wickets.
IND W vs AUS W 3rd T20I LIVE Score: Australia were struggling after losing three wickets inside the powerplay. It looked like India are getting away with the game. But it was at this stage that Gardner and Litchfield got together steadying the Aussie progress. But soon, Shree Charani got rid of Litchfield giving India a stronghold in the game.
Australia made a powerful start to their chase scoring 18 runs in the first over. However, Shreyanka Patil brough them back into the game in the very next over with the wicket of Georgia Voll. The wicket of Beth Mooney soon followed and India had the game under their control early in the chase. Patil did not rest their, she picked up the wicket of Ellyse Perry in the next over and the game was firmly tilted in favour of India.
Jemimah Rodrigues held the innings together for India propelling them towards a formidable total. She was dismissed in the last over after scoring 59 runs off 46 balls. Carried by the brilliant efforts from Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, India managed to post 176/6 in their 20 overs.
Smriti Mandhana departed in the 17th over, losing her wicket to Sutherland as as India take on Australia in the third T20I in Adelaide on Saturday. The India opener registered 82 runs off 55 balls. Earlier, opener Shafali Verma (7) was dismissed in the second over by Kim Garth. Initially, Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat.
The visitors will need their batters to perform collectively against Aussie bowlers, who have been in good form lately. Also, India Women have never registered a bilateral series win in Australia across all formats.
In the second T20I, Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma got good starts, but failed to capitalise as India failed to chase down a target of 164 runs. The Aussie trio of Kim Garth, Annabel Sutherland and Sophie Molineux got rid of five Indian batters for only seven runs as the visitors failed to get any kind of control in the run chase. The spotlight will also be on Indian pacers. Renuka Singh, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Goud and Amanjot Kaur need to find the perfect lines, especially against Australia’s dominant batters. For the Aussies, the focus will be on Georgia Voll, who has taken over the opening role from now-retired Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy.
Squads:
India – Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana, Bharti Fulmali, Kranti Gaud, Richa Ghosh (wk), Gunalan Kamalini, Amanjot Kaur, Shreyanka Patil, Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, Renuka Singh, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani, Vaishnavi Sharma
Australia – Sophie Molineux (c), Tahlia McGrath, Darcie Brown, Nicola Carey, Kim Garth, Grace Harris, Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Voll, Georgia Wareham
