Jemimah and the spirit of cricket

With just 2 overs to go, Harleen Deol steps on the gas too but miscues a shot to be caught out for 6. Radha Yadav comes in to give company to Harmanpreet and she plays out a few dot balls. If only Pooja Vastrakar had been fit today!

Mandhana on the charge

Mandhana is taking the fight to Australia! She steps out of her crease to the spinner and smashes a four down the ground. Australia get a chance to get her wicket but a difficult catch goes begging. 

Mandhana stepping out of her crease very often in the Powerplay, and finding the gaps more often than not.
