... THE RUN CHASE ...

This is the highest total scored against India Women in the ODIs. The Women in Blue were pretty ineffective with the ball and in the field for most of the innings. They gave away plenty of freebies and had no answer to the onslaught from the Women in Yellow. Saima Thakor was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets while Minnu Mani snapped a couple with Deepti Sharma bowling an economical spell and removing the well-set Perry. India Women needs to chase down a record score of 372 to stay alive in the series. Can they do it or will Australia Women go 2-0 up with a game in hand? We shall find out. Join us in a while for the second essay.
