India Women vs Australia Women 1st ODI full scorecard
Half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana, Patrika Rawal and Harleen Deol went in vain as Phoebe Litchfield, with her brilliant 88, and Beth Mooney, with an unbeaten 77, helped Australia secure an easy 8-wicket win over the Women in Blue in the first of the three-match ODI series at New Chandigarh to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The two sides will now meet next on September 17 for the second ODI.
Earlier, Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss for India and opted to bat first. The decision was proven right after Smriti Mandhana and Patrika Rawal continued their opening partnership form to bring up their seventh half-century stand for the first wicket, helping India reach 55 without loss at the end of the 10-over mark. They continued their form and took India past the 100-run mark without any damage in the 18th over. Smriti then completed her third ODI half-century in the 19th over. Patrika Rawal followed suit and completed her half-century to keep India flying.
Australia were looking clueless, hoping India would make a mistake, and that’s exactly what happened when Smriti Mandhana (58) ran herself out on the third ball of the 22nd over to hand the Aussies their first breakthrough. Only 28 runs were added in the next 53 balls before Patrika Rawal (64) lost her wicket to Alana King. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur’s 150th ODI did not last long as she was dismissed for just 11 by Annabel Sutherland.
Harleen Deol then scored a run-a-ball half-century but lost her wicket soon after, on 54, to Megan Schutt. Jemimah Rodrigues (18) was the next batter to depart after falling to Tahlia McGrath. Richa Ghosh (25) then tried to give India a late boost but lost her wicket to Megan Schutt.
Deepti Sharma (20* not out) and Radha Yadav (19) then added a quick 30 runs late in the innings as India finished on 281 for 7.
In reply, Australia got off to a good start, adding 45 runs for the first wicket before Kranti Goud removed Alyssa Healy (27) to give India their first wicket of the match. Phoebe Litchfield and Ellyse Perry added 79 runs for the second wicket before Perry retired hurt on 30 due to calf discomfort.
Phoebe Litchfield (88) continued to attack from one end before finally losing her wicket to Sneh Rana in the 27th over. Beth Mooney (77* not out) and Annabel Sutherland (54* not out) then added an unbeaten 116 runs for the third wicket as Australia reached the required 282-run target with 8 wickets to spare in 44.1 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
