India Women vs Australia Women, One-Off Test Day 2 Highlights: Annabel Sutherland Pushes India To A Corner

Welcome back for the final innings. The crowd cheered loudly for Alyssa Healy as she walked off the field for the last time. While some fans hoped she would open the batting in her final game, the usual pair of Georgia Voll and Phoebe Litchfield comes out instead to score the final 25 runs. Kashvee Gautam will start with the ball for India Women. Let's go...

... FOURTH INNINGS ...

An easy chase for the Aussies - While the rest of the team collapsed, Pratika Rawal was the only Indian batter who fought hard against the tough conditions. She built a fighting partnership with Sneh Rana to push India past Australia's 125-run lead, but once Rana got out, the rest of the wickets fell quickly. Now, Australia needs just 25 runs to win, making the chase a mere formality.

The Aussies were brilliant with the ball again - The Australian bowlers were completely in control and kept the pressure on the hosts. Debutant Lucy Hamilton had a dream match, taking three crucial wickets to tear through the Indian batting lineup. She was fully supported by the rest of the attack, with Annabel Sutherland, Alana King, and Ashleigh Gardner all taking key wickets to stop India from getting back into the game.

It was a terrible start for India! India's second innings started disastrously under the tricky twilight conditions with the pink ball. The openers lost their wickets within the first two overs, and the middle order failed to build any strong partnerships. Despite some effort from players like Jemimah Rodrigues and captain Harmanpreet Kaur, the team was eventually bowled out for just 149, giving them a tiny lead of only 24 runs.

OUT! TAKEN! Ashleigh Gardner gets her second wicket and wraps things up. This is a short-length delivery, pitching just outside leg. Pratika Rawal opens her stance to pull it away over sqaure leg, but fails to time the shot well. The ball loops toward the left of the short fine leg region, where Annabel Sutherland takes an excellent diving catch. So, Australia just need 25 runs to win this one-off test.

Short, on off, Pratika Rawal rocks back and defends it to silly point.
