JPN-W vs IND-W Live Cricket Score

6.2 OUT! CAUGHT! And there's the first wicket. Sree Charani breaks through for the Women in Blue. Dishes out a full ball, on the off stump and gets the ball to turn away a shy bit. Haruna Iwasaki gets low on her knee and looks to slog sweep it over mid-wicket, but gets undone by the slowness of the surface. The timing goes awry and she top edges it behind mid on. Shafali Verma runs over her right shoulder, sees the ball like a hawk and takes a well-judged catch. Japan Women are 24/1. 24/1

14.2 OUT! CAUGHT! That is the end of Stafford's vigil. Verma gives the ball a bit of air, on a length, on middle. Ayaka shimmies down the track and tries to go over mid on. The shot is on, but she does not manage to get to the pitch of the ball. Gets it high on the bat and it is spooned to mid on, where G Kamalini does the rest. 46/4

6.3 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! One brings two, they say. Sree lands it on a good length and turns away from the batter, outside off. Mai Yanagida has a loose poke at it, playing away from her body and barely moving her feet. Gets a faint outside edge and Richa Ghosh grabs it cleanly behind the stumps. She appeals for caught behind, and up goes the finger. At first, it looked like Charani was not so sure about the edge. That's the Japanese captain gone on a golden duck, and Japan Women are 24/2. Charani is on a hat-trick. 24/2

12 OUT! CAUGHT! Erika Oda holes out. Sharma goes back to over the wicket and offers flight, full and a hint of turn, on off and middle. Oda gets down on a knee and gets the slog sweep away. She does not get the desired distance and hits it straight down the throat of Shreyanka Patil at deep mid-wicket, who takes it close to her chest. 33/3

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Number two for Shafali. Quicker through the air, on a fuller length, just outside off. Shimako Kato looks to pull it off the back foot, but badly mistimes it off the leading edge of her blade. The ball bobbles up and dips on the mid off fielder. Harmanpreet Kaur has to dive forward to complete the catch. Japan Women are 51/5. 51/5

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Sree gets her third wicket. She keeps it full in length and the ball spins in with a bit of bounce. Akari Nishimura is neither fully on the front foot nor she is on the back foot, and tries to clip it across to the leg side. Only manages a thick leading edge, and the ball spoons up and is taken easily by Bharti Fulmali at short mid-wicket. Japan Women are 56/8. 56/8

16.4 OUT! HINASE GOTO IS RUN OUT! Another one bites the dust. Bowls it full and on off, and gets it to spin back in. Goto goes for the sweep but gets an inside edge and the ball shoots past the leg stump and rolls towards the deep fine leg. The batters turn back for the second run but Smriti's rocket throw to the keeper forces Goto to hurry. But she is found short of her crease as Ghosh collects the ball and whips the bails in a flash. Japan Women are 52/6. 52/6

17.2 OUT! AHILYA CHANDEL IS RUN OUT! A complete communication lapse between the batters. On a good length, outside off, Nishimura walks out of the crease and sweeps it towards Nandani at square leg. She slips while charging for the single, and Chandel is already halfway through. Ahilya gives up, and that gives Nandani Sharma enough time to pick and throw to the batting end. Ghosh does the rest. Japan Women are 52/7. 52/7

18.4 OUT! CAUGHT EASILY! The procession continues for Japan. Dishes out on a fuller length, on middle, Erika Toguchi-Quinn clears the front leg and tries to power it over mid on, but gets no timing on it whatsoever. Mishits it off the toe end and Shafali Verma at mid on, settles under it for a straightforward catch. Japan Women are 56/9 as Charani has her fourth wicket. 56/9

19.5 OUT! BOWLED! Done and dusted. Both the batters see the funny side of it. Japan Women have been bowled out for 57! A full delivery on the leg stump, Yasumoto makes room to swing it against the turn into the leg side. She misses, however, and the ball ricochets off her foot before trickling back onto the stumps. Shreyanka Patil also gets into the wickets in what's been a complete spin domination from the Women in Blue. 57/10

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Huge moment for Nonoha. She is ecstatic, and the Japanese players are all smiles. Yasumoto lands it full and on the leg stump line. G Kamalini tries to pump it over long on, but mistimes her lofted shot and airs it straight down the throat of Ahilya Chandel at long on. G Kamalini misses out on the opportunity after being promoted as the opener. India Women are 17/1. 17/1

2.4 OUT! TAKEN! Bharti, too, fails to get some runs under her belt. And honestly, that was a reckless shot from her. On a fuller length, on the off stump, Bharti Fulmali tries to play it aerially over the leg side but goes against the turn and gets a leading edge. The ball is lobbed towards backward point where Shimako Kato takes a simple catch. India Women are 24/2, chasing 58. 24/2
