Time for the presentation ceremony...

Ellyse Perry is in for a chat. She says that it was lovely to win and she really enjoyed coming back as they lost the first match. She adds that it was a great learning opportunity for them to bowl first but feels that they did do enough in the first game. She thinks that the wickets are important in the powerplay. On her 300th appearance for Australia, she replies that she is enjoying playing cricket. She ends by saying that she is enjoying every opportunity she's getting.

Earlier in the game, after Alyssa Healy called it right and put India Women into bat, they were rocked early as they lost Shafali Verma in the second over. Jemimah Rodrigues looked good during her stay, as did Smriti Mandhana, but neither of them was able to kick on. Harmanpreet Kaur's lean run continued, and India found themselves struggling at 54-4. Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma then got together to steady the sinking ship. Ghosh provided impetus to the Indian innings during her short stay, but she was unable to stay there till the end. However, Deepti managed to bat through for her side, and thanks to her contribution, India Women got to 130. For Australia Women, Kim Garth, Georgia Wareham, and Annabel Sutherland took two wickets each, but it was the leggie who was the most economical of the lot.

With not a big total to defend, early wickets were the need of the hour for India Women. However, it did not go according to plan for them as they failed to pick up any wickets in the Powerplay. Thanks to Deepti Sharma's twin strikes, India clawed their way back into the game. But they then allowed a partnership to build between Ellyse Perry and Tahlia McGrath where they leaked boundaries and allowed Australia to release the pressure. They did manage to nip McGrath and Gardner in the bud soon after but India Women just did not mange to string in dots to build the pressure and eventually ended up on the losing side.

In pursuit of 131, Australia Women were off to a solid start courtesy of the two openers. Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney played proper cricketing shots to put pressure on the Indian bowlers and helped their side stay ahead of the game. However, both perished in the space of two overs which put Australia in a bit of a bother. Tahlia McGrath and Ellyse Perry then counter-attacked and by doing so, they ensured that Australia Women did not crumble under pressure. Coming in at number 6, Phoebe Litchfield walked in and found the middle of the bat right from ball one. She joined hands with Perry and made sure that there were no more hiccups in the chase.

Australia Women get home with an over to spare and it is 1-1 in this three-match series! How special that it is Ellyse Perry with the winning runs in her 300th international game for Australia! The visitors had the chase under control for most parts but it was all set up in the first half of the game by their bowling unit. On the other hand, India Women gave a good account of themselves and should be proud of themselves for taking the game to the penultimate over.

Shreyanka Patil To Ellyse Perry

SIX! Ellyse Perry in her 300th international match hits the winning runs. Too full and outside off, Perry slogs it hard over mid-wicket for a biggie. Australia Women win by 6 wickets.
