India fell to a 7-wicket loss against Australia in their first Super Six match at the Women's U19 T20 World Cup. A poor display with the bat meant that the girls in blue were never really in contention during the entire match.
Their bowlers did fight hard in the powerplay with three wickets, but that was all they could manage as India slipped to their first loss of the World Cup.
Check out the highlights here:
That's all we have from the India's first super six match against Australia. Nothing went the way of Shafali Verma and co. It would be interesting to see if they can put this loss behind and bounce back tomorrow against Sri Lanka.
Thank you for joining into our coverage. See you tomorrow!
"Could not execute plans with the bat. We will look to bounceback. Not really (on the wicket being tough to bat). Yes, there is a bit of pressure but we will embrace it," quips Indian captain Shafali Verma.
Claire Moore and Amy Smith maintain their cool and hand India their first loss of the World Cup. The target has been chased down in mere 13.5 overs and the Indians are rattled.
AUS: 88/3 (13.5)
Unlike the Indian batters, who looked to smash everything out of the park, the Australians are happy manipulating the field for singles. India look clueless.
AUS: 65/3 (12)
They bring up their 50 in the tenth over and are in complete control of the chase. India are failing to apply pressure with easy runs on offer.
AUS: 56/3 (10)
Australia continue to pocket easy single and doubles as India fail to apply pressure.
IND: 48/3 (8)
India have got the wickets they needed, but they would have loved to have conceded a little less as Australia get 39 off the powerplay. Just 49 more needed off 84 deliveries to win.
AUS: 39/3 (6)
