But the pacer Shikha had the last laugh as she dismissed the Aussie opener off the fifth ball. Mooney cut it straight to Shafali Verma at point. This time, Shafali made no mistake.

A four and five singles off Sneh Rana's over. Beth Mooney (44*) is getting boundaries regularly and the Aussies batters are not missing singles to keep the scoreboard ticking at the moment. Stage is set for Australia to post a big total against India today.

10 RUNS! 1 4 0 4 0 1 -- Unlucky one for Radha Yadav. She could have taken her second wicket in it. But Shafali Verma dropped a sitter at long-on to give Beth Mooney (37* off 28) a life. Mooney hit two fours in the over to score 10 runs off Radha.

FOUR! Beth Mooney (6*) opened her boundary count with a four towards backward point off the last delivery. Deepti Sharma gave away 8 runs in her first over of the spell -- four straight singles and a four after starting with a dot ball.

Good start for Australia. Alyssa Healy (6*) started the proceedings with a four off the first delivery off Renuka Thakur. India pacer recovered well to bowl three dots after that, before conceding a two off the fifth delivery.

"It's a fresh pitch and the dimensions are short on one side of the ground. This is the same pitch that will be used for tomorrow as well. It's a nice, healthy green patch and it's in the line of middle and off-stump. The batters would target the shorter boundaries." -- Ian Bishop and Anjum Chopra

Australia skipper Meg Lanning won the toss and decided to bat first against India in Cape Town.

In less than three weeks, Smriti Mandhana will captain Australian duo Ellyse Perry and Megan Schutt at the Royal Challengers Bangalore, while Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham will be Harleen Deol's teammates at Gujarat Giants. Likewise, Meg Lanning will join forces with Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma and Shikha Pandey at Delhi Capitals. But on Thursday, players from the two countries will be on either side of the battle line in the big-ticket semifinal of the T20 Women's World Cup in Cape Town. The India-Australia combination is a heady mix in the Women's Premier League, with 14 players coming in from Down Under. It is also a reflection of their popularity, brand of cricket and the value they add to the sport.
