The Indian U19 Cricket Team
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.

G Trisha, OUT!
Early troubles for India as Gongadi Trisha - the half centurion from the previous match, departs for just 4. Tries to slash a ball wide outside off stump, but only manages to edge it to the wicketkeeper. An excellent catch behind the stumps from Paris Hall gives Illingworth her second wicket.
IND: 22/2 (3.3)

SHAFALI VERMA, OUT!
Yet another cheap score for Indian skipper Shafali Verma as she chips Illingworth straight to cover. She started off well and pocketed a couple of boundaries, but the joy is short lived for the Indian fans.
Verma walks off for 8 (6)
IND: 14/1 (2)

A gorgeously timed cover drive for a boundary for Shweta Sehrawat as she brings up 200 runs in the tournament. 6 off the first over for India.

"Around 130-140 would be a par score"
"The cracks won't play a big role. Expect a bit of carry. Around 130-140 runs would be a par score," reckons Julia Price in the pitch report.

INDIA PLAYING 11
One change for India as they bring in an extra spinner in Parshavi Chopra in place of Yashashri Sopadhandhi. Also, expect them to go back to their original batting order with Shweta Sehrawat opening with Shafali Verma.
