Early Action and Key Moments
Australia captain Alyssa Healy, returning from injury, won the toss and chose to bat first. India struck early when Kranti Gaud removed Healy, giving the hosts hope. However, what followed was a masterclass in partnership batting.
Phoebe Litchfield and Ellyse Perry combined brilliantly, adding 155 runs for the second wicket. The partnership threatened to take the match away from India until Amanjot Kaur provided the crucial breakthrough. Litchfield, attempting an audacious scoop shot, moved across her stumps but missed completely as the ball crashed into her off and middle stumps.
Perry’s Resilience Shines Through
Ellyse Perry reached her fifty off 66 balls, showcasing her big-match temperament. While her overall tournament hasn’t been spectacular, Perry has consistently delivered against India, following up her unbeaten 47 in their league encounter with another crucial half-century.
Currently at 60* off 73 balls, Perry has found an able ally in Beth Mooney (24 off 21), and the duo continues to build Australia’s commanding position.
India’s Bowling Struggles
The Indian bowlers have found it challenging to contain the Australian batters. Deepti Sharma and Sree Charani have been economical, but wickets have been hard to come by. A missed opportunity earlier compounded India’s troubles when wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh dropped both a catch and stumping chance off Litchfield’s edge.
India also lost a review when they unsuccessfully appealed for LBW against Mooney, with ball tracking showing the delivery pitching down leg.
Team Changes
For India, Shafali Verma replaced injured Pratika Rawal, while Richa Ghosh and Kranti Gaud came in for Uma Chetry and Harleen Deol. Australia welcomed back captain Alyssa Healy after her injury layoff.
