**Mumbai, India** – Australia Women set India Women a challenging 371-run target in their Women’s cricket match today. A dominant batting display saw several Australian players excel. Ellyse Perry led the charge with a powerful 99, punctuated by several boundaries and a six. Beth Mooney also contributed significantly with a 48-run knock, showcasing her aggressive batting style with multiple fours. Tahlia McGrath added to the score with a quickfire 10 runs.
The Indian bowling attack struggled to contain the Australian onslaught. Saima Thakor was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3 wickets for 62 runs, while Deepti Sharma and Minnu Mani each claimed two wickets. However, the Australian batswomen’s aggressive approach proved too much to handle.
India’s chase began with a steady start by Smriti Mandhana (9 runs) before she was dismissed. Richa Ghosh and Harleen Deol provided some resistance, hitting several boundaries each, but the required run rate remained steep.
The match is underway, and India faces a monumental task to chase down Australia’s impressive total. Further updates will follow.
