[ad_1]
Indian women’s team restricted Australia to 258 runs in the second ODI. The Australian team scored 258 runs for eight wickets at the Wankhede Stadium thanks to the half-centuries of Phoebe Litchfield (63 runs) and Elise Perry (50 runs).
Deepti Sharma was the most successful bowler for India. Deepti took five wickets for 38 runs in 10 overs. Apart from them, Pooja Vastrakar, Shreyanka Patil and Sneh Rana took one wicket each.
Indian players dropped many catches in fielding, otherwise Australia’s score would have been even lower. On the very second ball of Renuka Singh Thakur’s innings, Amanjot Kaur took the catch of Phoebe Litchfield, who scored the most runs.
The Indian women’s team dropped a total of 7 catches. Even when India had to face defeat by 6 wickets in the first match, the fielding was very bad. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur had also accepted this after the match.
Australia got its first blow in the form of captain Alyssa Haley on the score of 40. Haley was bowled by Pooja Vastrakar. He scored only 13 runs. After this, Elise Perry made a partnership of 93 runs with opener Phoebe.
Australia suffered its second setback at the score of 133 runs. Parry, who made her debut after scoring 50 runs, was caught out by Richa Ghosh on the ball of Shreyanka Patil. Deepti Sharma bowled the most economical. He took five wickets for 38 runs in 10 overs.
At one time, 6 Australian batsmen were out on the score of 180. But India had to bear the brunt of poor fielding and Australia’s lower order batsmen added a lot of runs for the team.
Australia’s batsmen scored more than 70 runs in the last ten overs. Deepti Sharma did not get the support from any other bowler as she should have. Pooja Vastrakar proved costly in the death overs.
Apart from Phoebe and Perry, no batsman from Australia could touch the figure of 30. The third high score was 28 runs, which was made by Alana King. He hit three sixes in 17 balls.
To win this match, India will now have to score 259 runs in 50 overs. To remain in the three-match series, India will have to win this match at any cost. There will be a lot of expectations from the batsmen.
