53 off 24
A brilliant over from Gardner, giving just six and the asking rate for India is over 13 now.
IND: 136/4 (15)
- 17 Dec 2022 4:10 PM GMT
RICHA STARTS WITH A BANG!
It is not over until I am here, says Richa Ghosh. She comes in and smashes two boundaries off her first two deliveries. India need 59 off 30 and this is certainly attainable with Ghosh in the middle.
IND: 130/4 (15)

Harmanpreet, OUT!
No, no, no Harmanpreet Kaur - what have you done? The Indian skipper looks to take on Alana King with a sweep, but only manages to top-edge it to short fine leg.
Is this the match for Australia?
IND: 121/4 (14.3)

76 needed off 42
India need 76 off 7 overs. But till the time they have a well-set Harmanpreet Kaur in the middle, they would believe they can pull this off. The Indian skipper has scored six boundaries and a six in her 25-ball stay already.
IND - 113/3 (13)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:49 PM GMT
Harmanpreet getting into the groove
Harmanpreet Kaur comes down the track to hit Gardner sailing over the deep midwicket fence. First six of the match for the Indian skipper and these are good signs for the women in blue.
IND: 77/3 (10)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:45 PM GMT
Harmanpreet-Devika building a partnership
Harmanpreet Kaur and Devika Vaidya building a much needed partnership for India.
IND: 68/3 (9)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:39 PM GMT
Jemimah, OUT!
Jemimah Rodrigues' horror run with the bat in the series continues as she falls cheaply yet again. A nothing delivery down the leg side from Alana King, and the local-lass has guided it straight into the hands of short fine leg. She slams her bat into the pitch and walks off.
IND 49/3 (7)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:33 PM GMT
END OF POWERPLAY!
Shafali Verma takes a liking to Darcie Brown in the final over of the powerplay pocketing two boundaries. The bowler however gets the better of the Indian as she is caught by Elyse Perry.
India finish the powerplay losing two wickets for 44 runs.
IND: 44/2 (6)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:27 PM GMT
Australia tightening the screws
Despite a boundary off the first ball from Shafali Verma, Darcie Brown concedes just 5 runs off the fourth over. The Southern Stars are certainly tightening the screws, but Verma was dropped as well.
How costly will this prove to be?
IND: 28/1 (4)
- 17 Dec 2022 3:21 PM GMT
MANDHANA, OUT!
Australia brought in Gardner early for a reason and she responds by prizing out the biggest wicket - SMRITI MANDHANA IS CAUGHT BEHIND. The crowd falls silent.
Just two runs from that over as well.
IND: 23/1 (3)
