The onus will be on Indian batters to impress as they take on a dominant Australia side at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 at Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand.

Meanwhile, the Australian side is yet to lose a single match and are looking formidable and India will have no option but to be at their best against them.

95 off 108
Perry and Lanning have brought up their 50 partnership and the match continues to slip away from the women in blue. They are just toying with the Indian bowlers now are the Australians.
AUS - 183/2 (32)

Australia continues to cruise
The double wicket blow seems to have no effect on the Australians as they continue to cruise with skipper Meg Lanning in the middle with all-rounder Ellyse Perry for company.
The duo has already added close to 40 runs within no time and India are once again desperate for a breakthrough.
AUS - 162/2 (29)

GOLD FROM MITHALI!
The Indian skipper with a bowling change, brings on Pooja Vastrakar and the youngster strikes rightaway. It is the other opener - Rachel Haynes, who has to walk this time.
Pooja bangs it short right on the shoulders of Haynes and all she manages is an edge to Richa Ghosh behind the stumps. So, the highest run-scorer of this World Cup so far has to depart after scoring 43.
Two new batters in the crease and India are right back in this one.
AUS - 123/2 (21)

Rana breaks through!
There it is, finally. After toiling for more than 19 overs, India finally breaks the opening stand and it is the dangerous Alyssa Healy who has to depart. Mithali stuck with Sneh Rana and it has paid off.
Healy brings out a reverse sweep, but only manages to lob it to Mithali at short fine-leg. Can India tighten the screws now?
AUS - 121/1 (19.2)

India lose both reviews
This is poor from India. They have burned both their reviews within a span of two overs. First off Sneh Rana for a lbw decision against Rachel Haynes, and then off Rajeshwari Gayakwad for a lbw decision against Alyssa Healy.
While the first was missing the leg stump by a mile, the second was clearly pitching outside the leg. Desperation clearly evident in the middle.
AUS - 111/0 (17)

100 Partnership
A partnership worth more than 100 runs for the opening wicket for Australia and it has come in a very quick time. The Indian bowlers look clueless at the moment.
AUS - 101/0 (16.1)
- 19 March 2022 5:53 AM GMT
Not looking good for India
All the bowlers are bleeding runs left, right and centre for India and this is not looking good for the women in blue. Alyssa Healy has brought up her half-century off just 49 balls and looks determined for more.
AUS - 88/0 (15)
- 19 March 2022 5:24 AM GMT
Australia is playing some fantastic cricket now, trouble for India!
Australia has gotten off to a fantastic start and after 8 overs, the Aussies are 53 for no loss.

Back for the chase!
Jhulan Goswami with the ball for India, Rachel Haynes and Alyssa Healy for Australia. The Southern Stars batters pocket 8 run from the first over.
Not the kind of start India would have hoped for from Jhulan.
AUS - 8/0 (1)
