IND W vs AUS W: Australia women's cricket team is currently on a tour of India. A 3-match T20 series is being played between the two teams. Team India had won in the first match of the series. But in the second T20 played at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the Australian team made a brilliant comeback and won the match. Australia won this match by 6 wickets.

Great performance by Australian team

Australian women's team, after brilliant bowling, with the help of Ellyse Perry's unbeaten 34 runs in 21 balls, defeated India by six wickets in the T20 match and leveled the three-match series at 1-1. The performance of Indian all-rounder Deepti Sharma also did not help the team, who first played an inning of 31 runs and then took two wickets for 22 runs.

Team India's batting was a flop

After being invited to bat at the DY Patil Stadium, the Indian batsmen could not convert the start into a big score due to which the host team could only score 130 runs for eight wickets. Australia achieved this target by scoring 133 runs for four wickets in 19 overs. Australia needed 15 runs to win in the last two overs. But Phoebe Litchfield dashed India's hopes by hitting two fours off the first three balls of Shreyanka Patil. Perry, playing her 300th international match in all formats, hit three fours and two sixes during her unbeaten innings. He gave the team victory with one over remaining by hitting a six on the last ball of the 19th over.

Australia team kept taking wickets continuously

Earlier, Smriti Mandhana (23), Richa Ghosh (23) and Jemimah Rodrigues (13) could not play big innings despite good starts and Australia kept the pressure on India by taking wickets continuously. Wickets were falling at the other end but Deepti Sharma took the team to this score by scoring 31 runs in 27 balls with five fours before being run out on the last ball of the innings. Kim Garth provided the initial shock for Australia, first LBW Shafali Verma (01) and then ended the innings of Rodrigues, who had started by hitting three fours in quick succession. In the first match, the Indian team had scored around 10 runs per over in the powerplay but in this match it could score only 33 runs for two wickets.
