Georgia Voll and Ellyse Perry score fabulous centuries
After winning the toss, Australia Women elected to bat first and wreaked havoc with the willow. The opening partnership was 130 runs before Phoebe Litchfield (60) lost his wicket, but Georgia Voll (101) and Ellyse Perry (105) registered marvellous centuries.
The duo stitched a 92-run stand, but the carnage continued even after Voll got out. Later, Beth Mooney (56) also notched up a quickfire half-century, and other contributions took Australia Women to a massive 371/8.
Saima Thakor took three wickets, while Minnu Mani got two wickets, but all of them were expensive for India Women. During the chase, India Women lost Smriti Mandhana (9) in just the fourth over of the innings.
Later, Harleen Deol (12) couldn’t last longer either, and India Women have lost two wickets inside 11 overs. At the moment, Richa Ghosh (36) and Harmanpreet Kaur (14) are batting at the crease, but the target is too far.
