AUSW vs INDW Live Cricket Score

5.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Australia get their second wicket in as many overs. A short ball, around off, Shafali backs away and pulls it wide of mid on. Or so, she thinks. Because Annabel Sutherland quickly gets across to her right from mid on and takes a clean catch. Verma stands over there in disappointment. She thought she found the gap. So did we. Both the openers dismissed in quick succession then. 43/2

4.1 OUT! LBW! Jonassen strikes and Australia get the breakthrough. She bowls a flighted ball on middle, Mandhana once again gets in position to sweep but is early in the shot. She gets hit on the pads in front of the stumps. Aussies go up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The Aussies celebrate. 41/1

16 OUT! LBW! This time Rodrigues cannot be saved by the DRS as she is hit plumb in front of the stumps. Fuller ball from Kimmince, it is on middle and leg, Rodrigues tries to flick but misses. She is hit flush on the pads. The bowler appeals and the umpire raises her finger. After a chat with her partner, Rodrigues goes for the review. The replays roll in. First, Ultra Edge, it shows no bat. Ball Tracker comes in now, it is pitched in line and is hitting the middle pole. Rodrigues has to depart. 100/4

6.4 OUT! STUMPED! Jonassen has two and it is the mighty wicket of the Indian skipper Kaur. Australia are making a statement here. Jonassen bowls this loopy ball on middle and leg, Kaur skips down the track and looks to slog it over long on but she misses. The ball just about misses the leg pole and goes behind. Healy fails to collect but the ball hits her pads and ricochets onto the stumps. After a decent start, the Indians have been pegged back in this game. 47/3

9.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and gone! Brilliant from Poonam. She deceives Healy with the flight of the ball here. A tossed up ball around off, Healy comes down the track and looks to loft it but because of the slowness of the delivery, ends up chipping it back to the bowler. Poonam moves a little to her right and pouches it with ease. A huge wicket for India and two new batters will be at the crease now. Can India drag it back from here? 67/3

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Pandey draws first blood. It is Mooney who departs. A short of a length ball outside off, Mooney looks to cut but ends up slicing it towards point where Gayakwad comfortably pouches it to break the opening stand. 101 more needed in 86 balls. 32/1

8.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Gayakwad strikes and sends the Aussie skipper packing. Gayakwad bowls a loopy ball around off, Lanning comes down the track but the ball pitches and turns away. Bhatia collects the ball and tries to whip the bails off but she misses. However, she appeals for a caught behind. The umpire takes her time and then raises her finger. Lanning does not wait then and starts walking. Brilliant delivery from Gayakwad as she beats Lanning with the flight on the delivery. A lucky break for Bhatia though one can say as she missed an easy stumping. 55/2

11.3 OUT! STUMPED! Yadav strikes again and it is once again the flighted delivery that strikes gold for Poonam. Excellent bowling from her. Poonam bowls this ball just outside off, Haynes charges down the track and looks to force the ball towards the off side but the ball turns away from her. It goes low to the keeper, Bhatia, who does well to bend down and whip the bails off in a flash. India are right back in this game. 76/4

19.2 OUT! CAUGHT & BOWLED! Australia are 9 down now and their only hope, Gardner departs. A high full toss around off, Gardner looks to slam it over deep mid-wicket but ends up mistiming it high in the air. Pandey settles herself under the ball and pouches it with ease. 113/9

11.4 OUT! BOWLED! Two in two and it is the mighty wicket of Perry. Poonam Yadav is on fire here! What a ball to knock over the best batter going around the world. Yadav once gives this ball a lot of air. She lands it on middle and leg, Perry comes down the track and looks to push at it but is way early in the shot. It is a googly and Perry misses and the ball goes behind to hit the leg pole. Poonam celebrates and she is on a hat-trick now. 76/5

13.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust and once again it is Poonam Yadav who is running through this Australian batting order. Another ball which is slower through the air and just outside off, Jonassen looks to pull but the ball takes a thin under edge and goes behind. Bhatia behind the wickets makes no mistake this time. The Indians are delighted and the Australians are bleeding here. 82/6

16.3 OUT! STUMPED! Australia lose their seventh wicket and this time it is Shikha Pandey who has struck. Length delivery on off, Sutherland looks to come down the track and strike it over the bowler but misses the ball completely. The ball goes towards Bhatia who collects the ball and whips the bails off in a flash to send Sutherland packing. The match is surely tilted towards India now and Australia have shot themselves in the foot after a good start. 101/7

18.4 OUT! RUN OUT! Delissa Kimmince walks back now and Australia go further down the barrel. It is a wonderful throw from the deep by Jemimah Rodrigues. Shortish delivery outside off, Gardner rocks back and pulls this one towards mid-wicket. The batters set off for two. Gardner completes the first and calls her partner for the second. Kimmince obliges but Rodrigues collects the ball in the deep and fires a flat and fast throw at the non-striker's end where Deepti Sharma takes the bails off. Kimmince walks back now and the Indian team is in full celebratory mood. 108/8

19.5 OUT! RUN OUT! That is all over and Australia are thumped in the tournament opener. Fuller ball around off, Schutt pushes it towards sweeper cover. They take the first run and go for the second. Rodrigues in the deep fires a throw at the non-striker's end. Pandey collects the ball and whips the bails off to catch Strano short. INDIA WIN BY 17 RUNS! 115/10
