Presentation Time...
Earlier in the game, Australia Women posted a record-breaking first-innings total in Women’s ODIs at the WACA, powered by Annabel Sutherland’s brilliant century and strong fifties from Ash Gardner and Tahlia McGrath. India Women recovered well after the first Powerplay with Arundhati Reddy’s sensational four-wicket spell, the best by a visiting bowler here, but missed opportunities in the field allowed the Australians to recover and dominate the game. Deepti Sharma and a sharp run-out contributed to India’s wickets, but overall, they struggled to maintain control.
Australia Women will be delighted with their bowling effort, showcasing why they are the best in the world. Megan Schutt struck early, but India fought back until Alana King’s timely breakthrough shifted momentum. From there, Ash Gardner stole the show, dismantling the chase with a stunning five-wicket haul, including the key scalps of Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma in the 36th over. Schutt added another to snuff out India's hopes, while Annabel Sutherland chipped in with one, and Alana King got a couple to seal the deal.
Smriti Mandhana brought up her 9th ODI century, but things quickly unraveled for India Women as they faced a dramatic collapse. In a span of just five deliveries, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Deepti Sharma were dismissed without adding a single run, reducing the visitors from a strong 189/3 to a precarious 189/6. With over 100 runs still required, the lower middle order had a mountain to climb but couldn’t rise to the occasion. Under relentless pressure, India folded for 215, falling to a crushing 83-run defeat.
India Women began their chase cautiously but faced an early blow with Richa Ghosh falling cheaply. Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol then steadied the innings with a fine mix of aggression and composure. Mandhana played the aggressor, bringing up her 28th ODI fifty in style, while Deol provided solid support. Their 118-run partnership looked promising, but Deol’s dismissal came at a crucial juncture. Mandhana carried on, nearing a well-deserved century, but limited support from skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who couldn’t capitalize, left the opener with a significant task ahead.
