India Women vs Australia Women Match Stats

The googly, outside leg, Deepti Sharma goes for the sweep but misses and is hit on the pads.

Comes down the track, takes it on the full and works it through mid-wicket for a single.

Full, outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur goes for the big slog sweep. Just about mistimes it and the ball lands just short of the fielder in the deep. A single taken.

Very slow, full and around off, Deepti Sharma is months early in the sweep shot. Gets no bat on it, and the ball is deflected off her pads to the keeper.

WHOA! Above-the-waist-height full toss on leg, Deepti Sharma pulls it somehow to deep square leg for a single. NO BALL! FREE HIT TO FOLLOW!

No damage done, excellent redemption by Georgia Wareham! Tossed up around off, Kaur steps down on track, stays leg side of the ball, and mistimes it down to long on for a single.

FOUR! Cheeky! 50-STAND UP IN 49 BALLS! Georgia Wareham provides more air to this one, on the leg stump line, Deepti gets down on one knee, helps it on its way over short fine for a boundary to end the over. India Women need 53 from the last 5 overs remaining.

Sophie Molineux returns. Starts with a short ball, outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur rocks back and lofts it over cover. Two runs taken. 100 UP FOR INDIA WOMEN. 51 more needed from 29 balls.

FOUR! WHACK! The accelerator has been pressed on. Full, around middle, Harmanpreet Kaur goes leg side of the ball and hits it aerially through the covers. The fielder dives to her right but the ball goes through! These are ominous signs for the Australians. They have seen this before. 47 more needed from 28 balls!

Full and straight, Kaur flicks it through square leg for a single.

FOUR! Now that is a nice shot! Sophie Molineux bowls it flat and quick, on the stumps, on a fullish length, Deepti Sharma gets inside the line of the ball and sweeps it behind the square, over the inner ring for a boundary at widish deep fine.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN SAFELY! A huge, huge breakthrough for Australia Women! Sophie Molineux sticks to fire in the ball on a fuller length, on a flatter trajectory, around off, Deepti Sharma comes ahead a couple of steps and looks to take on the pace. She aerially lofts the ball but mistimes it badly as her head falls over. Hence, fails to generate the requisite power on the shot. It goes off the toe end of the bat and travels straight to Georgia Wareham at deep mid-wicket. She judges the catch perfectly, balances herself well just before the ropes, and takes a good overhead catch. Sophie Molineux breaks the 63 run-stand between Deepti Sharma and Harmanpreet Kaur. Deepti Sharma departs for 29 (25) and India Women need another 42 from 25 balls.

Overpitched and outside off, Richa Ghosh drives it to the left of cover for a quick single. India Women need 41 off 23 balls now. A wicket from the over but 12 runs from it as well. Sophie Molineux has figures of 3-0-18-2 now.

Megan Schutt to bowl out now. Starts with a wide ball, on a length, outside off, pace off, Richa Ghosh throws her bat at it but cannot get it past cover.

 OUT! RUN OUT! Excellent piece of fielding from Australia. Phoebe Litchfield is the fielder. Very full, around off, Ghosh drives it through the covers and sets off for a quick single. But she cannot pierce the gap and it has gone straight to the fielder. They still go through for the single and Litchfield takes aim. Has a shy at the bowler's end and hits the bulls' eye. Richa is nowhere in the frame. She departs for 1 (3) and Australia pick up 2 wickets for 1 run in 4 balls. India need another 41 from 22 balls.

Full, around off, pushed back to the bowler.

Fourth dot in this over so far! Top drawer from Megan Schutt. A well-directed yorker outside off, Harmanpreet Kaur is late to bring her bat down in time to squeeze it out. Phoebe Litchfield does well to block it off behind the wickets.

Make that the fifth dot! Fired in full and on off, Harmanpreet Kaur mistimes it to mid off.

Missed by a margin there! It's getting nervy for India Women at the moment! It looked like Harmanpreet Kaur almost conceded on that run. Fuller and at the stumps, right in the blockhole yet again, Kaur digs it on the surface, and gets an inside edge on her front pad which rolls towards the point region and rushes for a single. Beth Mooney runs towards the ball, picks it up and throws it flat, but has a shy at the non-striker's end. Had it been a direct hit, it was curtains for the Indian skipper. But a sensational over from Megan Schutt. A wicket and just a single. India Women need 40 from 18 now. 

Very full, around off, Harmanpreet Kaur sweeps it towards wide long on for a single. 39 more needed from 17 balls.

A touch shorter, on middle, Pooja Vastrakar stays back and helps it through mid-wicket for a run.

FOUR! WHAM! Very full, outside off, Kaur gets down and carves it over a leaping Litchfield at cover. Moves to 40 (40).

FOUR! Finds the gap, again! Ash Gardner provides just a little room outside off on a good length, Harmanpreet Kaur hangs back and cuts it past cover for a boundary. 30 required of the last 14 now.

A low full toss outside off, quicker at almost 102 kph, drilled down to long off by Harmanpreet Kaur for a single.

1 from the previous and 12 from this over! This is full and on the stumps, Pooja Vastrakar steers it behind square to deep square leg for a single to end the over. 4-0-32-1 for Ash Gardner.

MISFIELD! Are the wheels coming off for the Aussies? Very full, around middle, Pooja Vastrakar gives herself room to the leg side and drives it straight to point. The fielder takes her eyes off the ball and what should have been a single, becomes a couple.

FOUR! BEAUTY! Insult to injury now. Flighted, outside off, Vastrakar gives herself room again on the leg side and drives it beautifully through the covers.

Slower through the air, outside off, fractionally shorter than full, Pooja goes for the big hoick and mistimes it. Does not carry to deep mid-wicket. A single taken.

 FOUR! Nicely adjusted by Harmanpreet! Sophie Molineux fires it flat and wide of off, just near the tramline, Harmanpreet Kaur first looks to slog it away to the leg side but adjusts well to slice it over the infield over short third for a boundary.

FIFTY FOR HARMANPREET KAUR! Sophie Molineux now bowls it full and outside off, Kaur crouches a bit, and hits it over the covers. The fielder in the deep mops it up well and the batters scrape through for a couple. Harmanpreet Kaur hares back for the second and she is gasping for breath here.

Seeing Harmapreet shuffling outside off, Sophie Molineux cunningly flattens the trajectory and fires in full and just near the boot of the batter. Harmanpreet Kaur gets a thick inside edge to her boot as the ball rolls to the off side. A quick single taken. 14 required off 6 balls now. This is going all the way down to the wire!

Very full, around off, Harmanpreet Kaur drills it to long on for a single. 13 needed from 5 balls now.

OUT! BOWLED! Not the best of balls but Sutherland will take it. A high full toss, at the stumps, Pooja Vastrakar backs away and slashes hard, but misses. The ball goes beneath the bat and hits the stumps. A quickfire stand of 28 in 18 balls has been broken as Vastrakar departs for 9 (6). India Women are 139/6 and need another 13 from 4 balls.

OUT! It is a run out but India will not mind. The skipper is back on strike. Almost a yorker, outside off, Arundhati Reddy gets underneath the ball and aims to go for a cover drive. The ball hits the toe end of the bat and lobs gently to mid off. Does not carry but because Reddy is on a knee, she takes some time to set off for the single. Harmanpreet has no doubts and has already set off. Phoebe Litchfield throws it to the bowler who does the rest.

Can't get it through, this is excellent bowling display by Sutherland! Almost a yorker on off, Harmanpreet Kaur drills it down to wide of mid off for a quick single. No room for the double there as the fielder is very quick to scoot on the ball. 12 from 2 now.

OUT! WIDE AND A RUN OUT! Full in length, but drifting down leg, slower ball, Patil swings her bat and misses, Mooney behind the stumps gathers the ball well. Kaur wants to steal a bye, but Shreyanka is ball-watching and does not look at her partner who is already more than halfway up for a single. Now, Shreyanka starts to run but is sent back. Harmanpreet frustratingly walks back to the non-striker's end with a disgruntled look on her face. Mooney in the meantime, runs forward to the stumps and realizes that Shreyanka's back leg is outside the popping crease. She dislodges the bail in a flash. Now, the question is whether Patil had some part of her boot behind the line. She tries to drag her feet behind the line but it gets stuck in the pitch. After several checks, the TV Umpire is assured that there's nothing behind the line. OUT IT IS! 

OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger! The decision is challenged by Radha Yadav after consulting from her skipper, but fairly this one looks pretty straight to the naked eye. Annabel Sutherland sticks to the fuller length, at the stumps, Radha clears her front leg, and wildly swings at it, gets beaten comprehensively on the inside edge and is trapped on the front pad. UltraEdge shows no bat and the Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. A nervy final over from Annabel Sutherland, executed just about perfectly!

AUSTRALIA WIN! 15TH CONSECUTIVE TIME IN T20 WORLD CUPS! Sharjah has been silenced, which was lending a one-sided support for the Indian Women. Coming to the delivery, this is a length ball around middle and leg, Renuka heaves it along the ground to deep backward square leg for a single. And eventually, it all came down to the last delivery. Very fair to say, that the last-ball six from Phoebe Litchfield in the first innings, ultimately proved to be the difference in the end! AUSTRALIA WIN BY 9 RUNS.
