Inn Break
That will be it from today. India start off the World Cup with a bang as they have defeated the hosts. On Saturday, 22nd February, it will be a double-header as West Indies will take on Thailand in the first game at 1500 Local (0700 GMT). It will be followed by New Zealand taking on Sri Lanka at 1900 Local (1100 GMT). Till then, cheers and take care!
The Indian skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, says that this is a great start for the team. Says that they were just looking to do well with the bat and put a score of around 140 on the board. Mentions that the partnership between Deepti Sharma and Jemimah Rodrigues was pivotal and that the track was on the slower side. Credits Poonam Yadav with leading the bowling attack and the way she has recovered from the injury.
The Australian skipper, Meg Lanning, says that the bowlers did a very good job to restrict the Indian batters. Adds that the batters failed tonight and a lack of partnerships hurt them in the end. Credits the Indian bowlers for the way they bowled. Adds that they came into this match well prepared and now they will assess this game and will be looking forward to the next game. Ends by saying that they have to win their remaining games and look to go further in the tournament.
Poonam Yadav collects the Player of the Match award. On being asked about her recovery, she thanks her teammates and the physios who have always encouraged and helped her. Says that the first time she bowled here it was against the Australians and she wanted to do well again tonight. Says that this is the third time that she has missed out on a hat-trick but she wants to do well for the team and is pleased with her performance today.
Earlier in the game, after being asked to bat first, India managed to put on a decent total after good efforts from Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma. The total could've been even bigger but the Aussie bowlers pulled things back after the early assault from teenager Verma. Eventually, the total ended up being a pretty good one as the Indians managed to keep the Aussies at bay and win the opening game of the tournament by defeating the reigning World Champions, Australia. Stay tuned for the presentation.
Like India, Australia started well with the bat. However, introduction of Poonam Yadav saw wickets fall quickly and run-scoring getting difficult. She troubled one and all with her flighted deliveries and ended with a 4-fer. It could've easily been a fifer with a hat-trick but Bhatia put down a chance but that didn't trouble India as they rolled over the Aussies. Shikha Pandey was the one who removed the first wicket and she was excellent in her spell, picking up 3 wickets for 14 runs.
The run chase started brilliantly for the Aussies and Healy took the attack to the opposition. She was playing brilliantly but she had to do all the job alone as others around her could not contribute much. Apart from Healy's half ton and the fight from Ashleigh Gardner, none of the Aussie batters could enter into the two-figure mark and it should be enough to describe the batting by the hosts.
Wow! What a brilliant start to the tournament and it is India who edge over Australia, the hosts, in this excellent game. Poonam Yadav was all over the Aussies with her flighted deliveries and her 4-fer saw them crumble after having a great start provided by Healy.

Shikha Pandey To Molly Strano
NOT OUT! The ball bounced well in front of the keeper. A length ball outside off, Strano looks to reach out and drive but gets an outside edge. The ball goes behind and Bhatia collects it. The batters go for the quick run. The umpires get together and want to check if the ball went to Bhatia on the full. The soft signal is not out. The replays roll in and show that it bounced just in front of the gloves of the keeper.
Is that another wicket for India? The umpire gets together once again takes the decision upstairs. This time it is for a caught behind. Did the ball carry to the keeper there? No, just bounced before the gloves of Bhatia.
Shikha Pandey to bowl the final over of the match.

Poonam Yadav To Ashleigh Gardner
NO BALL! NOT OUT! Gardner has been bowled as the ball hit her legs and then the stumps behind her, but the umpire has ruled this out as an illegal delivery. It is a loopy ball again from Poonam, Gardner comes down the track and looks to slog but misses. The ball hits her pad and rolls to hit the stumps. But before the Indians can celebrate, the umpires get together and refer it upstairs. The replays show that the ball bounced twice before it reached the popping crease and hence it has been given as a No Ball. Also, a Free Hit given to rub salt into the wounds of the Indian players.
Bowled? Safe? The umpires have referred a decision upstairs. The ball has hit the stumps off the pads of Gardner but it has bounced twice before it reached the popping crease. So, not out and a Free Hit for Australia.

Dropped! Oh dear, Bhatia drops a sitter! No hat-trick for Poonam Yadav and she really deserved it. That was a straightforward chance there as Poonam deceives another batter with the flight on the ball. She lands this one just outside off, Jonassen is drawn forward. The ball takes the outside edge and goes behind. Bhatia moves to her left and tries to catch but fails to hang on. Skipper Kaur is there at first slip and she could've swallowed it easily. Poonam is disappointed that she didn't get the hat-trick. Will this come to bite India back?
Jess Jonassen is the new batter in. She will be facing the hat-trick ball.

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.

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.

FOUR! Drilled down the ground! This is excellent batting from Healy. She is taking the attack to the opposition here. A length ball around off, Healy launches it over the bowler's head and the ball races away to the fence.

Deepti Sharma To Beth Mooney
NOT OUT! Poor, poor review from the Indians. Shortish in length and down the leg side. Mooney looks to pull but misses to get hit on the pads. The Indians appeal but not out says the umpire. The fielders discuss and go for the DRS at the last moment. The Ultra Edge shows no bat. Where is it pitching? Way down the leg side. So, India waste a review.
Review time! Mooney is the batter in question. It looks like the ball has pitched outside leg and yes, the replays confirm it. Review wasted!

Rajeshwari Gayakwad To Alyssa Healy
FOUR! Flicked off the pads! Shortish and on the pads of Healy, she flicks it past Shikha at square leg. She chases the ball but comes second. First boundary of the innings.
Spin from the other end too as Rajeshwari Gayakwad is into the attack. And yes, Smriti Mandhana is going into the pavilion. The Indian team will be hoping that this is a precautionary measure more than anything else and that their star batter is alright.

Deepti Sharma To Alyssa Healy
Superb effort by Smriti Mandhana but she has hurt herself in the process. Shortish ball on off, Healy rocks back and cuts this one towards cover-point. Mandhana gives it the chase and pulls the ball back before crashing into the advertising boards. She is seen holding her left shoulder and she is clearly in pain. It is unclear whether she has saved the boundary or not. The umpire refers it upstairs and the replays show that Mandhana has saved a run for her side. She is still holding her left shoulder as she comes onto the field. Her fitness will be a cause of concern for the Indian team.
